Google this week delivered its first monthly software update for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro that first shipped in October. In addition to providing the usual monthly security fixes, this update also addresses an Android 14 storage bug that impacted users with multiple user profiles.
“We have provided the monthly software update for November 2023,” the Google support document notes. “All supported Pixel devices running Android 14 will receive these software updates starting today. The rollout will continue over the next week in phases depending on carrier and device. Users will receive a notification once the OTA [over-the-air update] is available for their device.”

The November 2023 Google Pixel Update applies to all supported Pixels, which now includes the Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a (5G), Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro, plus the Pixel Tablet. Two of the fixes are notable:
- A fix for an issue that could cause “devices with multiple users enabled to show out of space or be in a reboot loop.” This one impacts the Pixel 6, 6a, 6 Pro, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, Tablet, Fold, 8, and 8 Pro, and was widely reported.
- A fix for an issue that could cause “a green flash when the display is turning off in certain conditions” on Pixel 7 Pro only.
As always, you can find this update on your Pixel by opening Settings and navigating to System > System update.
