Has everyone gotten the security update for November during or right after setup?
I was never prompted to download and install it as Google says we should. I have the 6 Pro unlocked version from Google and put the sim card from my pixel 5 in it. Yesterday I went to Best Buy and scored a Verizon 6 Pro for the wifey and when setting it up was prompted to get the update, meanwhile I've been hitting the check for update button since 10/28 with no luck. Hopefully it will show up tomorrow.
Has anyone else not gotten the update yet?
 
Not yet on my new Pixel 6. I set it up on Saturday and still no new update with November security patch and Magic Eraser. I guess it's a slow rollout.
 
I upgraded from pixel 5 on Google Fi and when I turned on my pixel 6 pro it prompted me to install an update. My phone is currently on the Nov security update, see attached photo.

Got my Nov update on Thursday when I set it up. Also unlocked from Google.
 
I guess they're calling that update from the other day the November update. I wonder if anyone else got the November update then, or if it was only available to Pixel 6s...

I got my update on the 28th.
 
I have the same issue, Unlocked Pixel 6 Pro with Verizon sim. I believe that Verizon is blocking the update for Unlocked Pixel 6's, at least temporarily.
 
I think I might take the sim card out and see if it will update on wifi....
 
Can the carrier block unlocked Pixel updates?
I forgot where I read. Maybe it was even here someone took their T-Mobile SIM. Put it on the unlocked phone. Got the update and then threw the Verizon SIM back into the phone

Come to think about it, once I took att sim out of my unlocked s21ultra and got update over wifi.
 
I thought about removing the sim to see if that allowed the update, but there is a different build for Verizon and I would probably get the non-Verizon build. I don't know how that would effect how well the phone worked on Verizon's network.

No Nov patch here on VZ but I did get magic eraser a few days ago.
 
Do you have an Unlocked phone with a Verizon sim?

Yes unlocked from Google VZ physical sim in P6 Pro

Shows Oct 5 2021 security update
SD1A.210817.019.C2

According to VZ site should be running

Release date: 10/28/2021
Android™ Security Patch Level: October 2021
Software Version: SD1A.210817.036.A8

Not sure why it won't update to that build since it looks like a day one patch
 
I got the security update before I ever put the SIM in (P6 Pro)...5 or 6 hours later I put my SIM in. (T-Mo, SE PA.)
