The November security patch is rolling out this morning as the first update for the Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. All Made by Google phones also benefit from a number of fixes.
Google’s two newest phones see a bug that prevents phone calls when using Android Audio resolved. Auto-brightness response on the Pixel 5 in “certain outdoor lighting conditions” has been improved with the November update, along with “inconsistent touch sound in certain conditions.”
Meanwhile, the Pixel 4a will see improved touch response when using “certain screen protectors,” while owners of the mid-ranger and Pixel 4/XL will stop hearing audio stutter during playback in some applications. Those three devices also get a fix for incorrect audio routing while using Auto.
