Google has sent a fresh security patch to the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL handsets.
Google says the update “fixes critical bugs and improves the performance and stability” of the Pixel smartphones. The update is about 50 MB and can be downloaded over the air.
Google normally issues security patches at the beginning of each month. This mid-month update is atypical. Google has also begun distributing Google Play Services 11.9.74 beta, which contains fixes for the Chromecast WiFi-sapping bug revealed earlier this week.
The Play Services update is being pushed in limited numbers. Google hasn’t said when the final version of Play Services 11.9.74, with the Chromecast patch, will reach all devices.
