Pixel 6 series to receive December 2021 update on December 13

Every three months Google releases a Pixel Feature Drop, bringing new features to the Pixel lineup outside of the platform updates. Earlier this month, the company released December 2021 Pixel Feature Drop together with the latest security patches. At the time, Google said the update would first make its way to the Pixel 3a series, Pixel 4 series, and Pixel 5a series, with the new Pixel 6 series joining next week. If you own a Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro and are wondering exactly when you’ll receive the new Pixel Feature Drop, it looks like you won’t have to wait too long.
