The November security patch is rolling out now to all supported Pixel phones – the 3/XL is currently dropped – as the first update to Android 12. Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners received the November update last week, but Google is only today detailing what’s included.

- System UI: Improvements for auto-brightness response in certain lighting conditions
- System UI: Fix to improve PIP media playback with certain apps

Meanwhile, the Pixel 3a/XL, 4/XL, 4a, 4a 5G, 5, 6, and 6 Pro all benefit from:
- Audio: Fix to prevent issues with notification sounds in certain conditions
- Stability: Stability improvements for certain third-party apps

- System UI: Fix to prevent issue with keyboard displaying over apps in certain conditions
