In early July 2026, Google Pixel smartphones began experiencing problems after the rollout of the Android 17 update, with reports of malfunctioning Google Wallet contact‑less payments and bootloop failures on older Pixel models. By the end of the month, Google released a server‑side patch that corrected the Wallet glitch automatically, and a Google Play System Update that resolved the bootloop fault affecting Pixel 4, 4a and 4 XL devices, restoring normal operation for affected users.
