In July 2025, an anticipated Pixel update purportedly includes Android Auto integration and Wi-Fi repair enhancements.
The much-anticipated July 2025 Pixel update is set to roll out for devices other than the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro starting on Tuesday, July 8, 2025. This information comes from an email sent to Pixel 6a owners, and while Google no longer strictly adheres to the first Monday of the month for updates, they typically release them around the first week. The US July 4th holiday may cause a slight delay in the schedule.
The update version is expected to be BP2A.250705.008, and although Verizon's changelog mistakenly lists the security patch level as June 2025, the actual July update should carry the July 2025 security patch.
Key highlights of this July 2025 update include improved display and graphics performance for smoother visual experiences in apps like Android Auto, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity stability and performance improvements under certain conditions. This update is the first patch for Android 16 and is focused mainly on bug fixes and improvements rather than new features.
Meanwhile, the July 2025 Google Play System update was released earlier on July 7, offering minor improvements and bug fixes to Android System Intelligence and Private Compute Services, enhancing the overall system performance and privacy on Android devices.
However, no new information about the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro updates has been provided. Interestingly, Verizon has prematurely released update changelogs for Pixel 6a, Pixel 6a-9 Pro, and Pixel 6 Pro, but not for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.
This update marks the first of two expected patch updates before the big QPR1 release with the Material 3 Expressive redesign. The current Pixel update is not expected to start rolling out until next week, as previously stated.
Intriguingly, no Pixel Watch update is expected for this month; the next one should be in September. As always, users are advised to keep their devices updated for the best user experience and security.
- Smartphone owners, including those with the Pixel 6a, can look forward to performance improvements in their apps, especially Android Auto, with the upcoming July 2025 update for their gadgets.
- While the July 2025 update is rolled out for various devices starting next week, it seems that there is still no update plan disclosed for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro smartphones.
