After a few days of the release of the final version of Android 13 for the owners of supported Google Pixel series smartphones, it seems that some users still have not actually received the new mobile operating system of the Mountain View giant.
According to reports that are multiplying on the Net, many are seeing the availability of a new Android 12 update and in the past few hours, it was the same team of Google developers who explained why this is happening.
There’s a reason Android 13 lags a bit
This is the official note that was released by the Mountain View giant:
On August 15, Pixel devices running an older version of Android 12 received a notification regarding a previously released Android 12 update with bug fixes. The message in the notification was confused with the timing of Android 13 and is currently being changed for clarity.
This update is separate from the version of Android 13 which started rolling out yesterday on all supported Pixel devices and will continue over the next few weeks, depending on the carrier. Users will be notified as soon as the OTA is available for their devices. We encourage users to check their Android version and the availability of an update to receive the latest software when it becomes available to their carrier.
In practice, this is not a mere error, as thought by many users up to now and indeed the Mountain View giant asks the owners of Google Pixel who will receive the notification of the availability of this latest version of Android 12 to download it and install it and only after they have done so will they receive the next release of the operating system. In practice, to “taste” the new OS you will need to have a little more patience.
