TL;DR Users are once again expressing their frustration online about missing features in the November Pixel Drop.
The update has just been released and doesn’t bring many of the new features Google promised in its announcement.
However, there are several reasons why Pixel Drops roll out gradually, over a period of time.
Google’s latest November Pixel Feature Drop introduced a number of exciting upgrades for Pixel phones, but many users are finding that most of the new features aren’t actually live yet. While Google’s announcement highlighted features like Notification Summaries, Remix in Google Messages, and more, many people, including members of our team who’ve updated their phones, are only seeing the new Wicked: For Good! theme pack, which is hardly the star of the show in this Pixel Drop.
So, what’s going on? Why do Pixel Drop features always seem to arrive in slow motion?
Why are Pixel Drop features delayed?
Unlike Apple’s iOS updates, which roll out globally to all eligible devices at once, Google’s Pixel Feature Drops follow a staggered rollout schedule. This means not every Pixel user gets the new features at the same time, even if they’ve already installed the update. Users sometimes have to wait several weeks before gaining access to new features. It can be frustrating, but there’s actually a reason behind it.
