Android 12L’s changes are slight for the Pixel 6, and they’re mostly designed to improve the experience on foldable phones and Android tablets. The changes include a new two-column layout across the system, including on the notification panel. There are also improvements to split-screen mode, and a new taskbar that looks similar to Chrome OS for easy access to other apps.

If you don’t want to download a custom ROM, you may be waiting a while longer for Google to release the update for the Pixel 6. The company has said it’ll be “later this month”, but we’ve yet to get an official release date. Other compatible Pixel devices, such as thePixel 5andPixel 5a, are already receiving the update so we’re hoping it’ll be sooner rather than later when it lands of the latest Pixel handsets.
