PSA: The May Google Play system update now available on Pixel 3.

[B. Diddy]

Check your phones for the May Google Play system update (which is different from the monthly patch). Go to Settings>Security>Google Play System Update and see if it prompts you to restart your phone. This is only for the Pixel 3 right now -- for some reason, the 2 and 4 are still stuck on March, but keep checking periodically.

EDIT: I got confirmation from someone with a 2 XL, so it looks like a staged rollout for Pixels in general.

Mine didn't show an update available. Still on March 1 update.

Hmm, Pixel 3 as well? I suppose these updates go out in a rolling fashion as well.

I'm on 3xl

 

[B. Diddy]

I got confirmation from someone else with a 2 XL that they just got it, so it must be rolling out to Pixels in general in a staged manner.

I'm also running a 3XL and the update is not showing up even checking manually.

 

[patruns]

Yes, I am still on the March update. Checking shows me up to date.

Yes, I am still on the March update. Checking shows me up to date.

Update: Checked again today and I no longer have the "Google Play System Update" option. It has disappeared completely. Anyone else?

Note, I checked my wife's 3XL and she was on February. I checked for an update and it updated to March. She still has the option but no further update. Is it possible that mine updated over night and the new version removes the update option? If so, how do I check what version I am non now?

Edit: Never mind, I can still see the version in "about phone" and i am still on the March version.

 

[B. Diddy]

Weird. You're going to Settings>Security​ and it's not listed there?

FWIW, On my pixel 3, the module is there but when I try to update it, it still says that the last update is March.

 

[B. Diddy]

Yeah, some units still seem to be behind. My wife's 2 XL is still on March.

 

[mrpackerguy]

Here's my weirdness. Installed the March update. I just checked it and now it says January

What do these play updates do vs. the regular monthly security updates?

 

[B. Diddy]

I haven't been able to find much detailed information about them. It has to do with Project Mainline: https://www.droid-life.com/2019/10/...ogle-play-system-updates-on-your-pixel-phone/

 

[TiMar99]

Thanks. But dumb in my opinion..just lump into 1. Who is actually checking all this.

 

[B. Diddy]

Agreed. My guess is that it's another feature that's like a beta test, which Google is so well-known for. If they end up liking how it works, I'd expect to see it show up more widely in new phones.

 

[Kizzy Catwoman]

Just updated my 2XL

 

[HyperM3]

Still nothing here on my 3xl

And just like that, it is back. The option was missing yesterday and now it is back again. And I am still on March.
