If you still didn’t get the update for your device, wait for a few days or a few weeks, then check for updates again. If you still see “Your software is up to date,” this means that the update didn’t reach your region yet.

Many #Pixel7Pro #android users here?

I've got one, and I've gone back to my #GalaxyS21 Ultra.

It's been a weird thing. Probably teething issues for the most part, but I've experienced way too much scrolling lag in a lot of apps, and a weird bug where it'll drop calls after 2 seconds (activating and deactivating flight mode will stop it happening *for a while*), and for some reason it's also not offering the "suggest a strong password" option that normally pops up when registering on a site or in an app.

So, all fairly annoying, if not world-ending stuff. I've found reddit and google support threads about each of these issues though, so I'm surprised none were addressed in the November update!

I also much, much prefer Samsung's markup tool in its image editor. Many more features, like pixelating or blurring sensitive details on screengrabs, etc. I know I can use other apps for that, but it still makes Google's markup tool pretty disappointing by comparison.
