July 2025 Pixel Update Targets Android Auto and Wi-Fi Issues
The July 2025 update for Google’s Pixel devices is anticipated to improve Android Auto functionality and Wi-Fi stability. Although the official rollout is expected next week, Verizon’s early changelog reveals key details about the upcoming patch.
Verizon’s Early Release Sheds Light on Pixel Update Details
Verizon prematurely published update changelogs for Pixel models ranging from the 6a to the 9 Pro Fold, notably excluding the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. Despite the listed release date of July 2, Google has not yet officially distributed the update as of Thursday morning.
Expected Rollout Timeline and Software Specifications
An email sent to Pixel 6a owners indicates the update should begin rolling out on Tuesday, July 8. Google has moved away from its tradition of releasing updates on the first Monday of the month, often adjusting schedules around US holidays like July 4. The reported software version is BP2A.250705.008, with an Android Security Patch Level erroneously marked as June 2025.
Key Improvements in Display and Wi-Fi Connectivity
- Display & Graphics: Enhancements aim to deliver smoother visual experiences within applications such as Android Auto.
- Wi-Fi: Stability and performance improvements under certain conditions promise better connectivity reliability.
Context Within Android 16 Update Cycle
This marks the first patch update for Android 16, with an additional update expected in August. These incremental updates precede the significant QPR1 release, which will introduce the Material 3 Expressive design overhaul.
Pixel Watch Update Status
No Pixel Watch update is anticipated for July, with the next scheduled release likely in September unless urgent Wear OS issues arise.
