On Monday, Google released the most recent version of its mobile operating system and began pushing it out. Numerous US Pixel owners have received the Android 13 update as of Friday afternoon.
The Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a devices signed up for the Android Beta Program received a 32 MB OTA on Monday at noon (PT) to upgrade from Beta 4.1 to the stable release of Android 13. The OTA was delivered to Pixel 4-5a phones participating in the beta program in the middle of the week.
Owners of Pixel devices in the US will be able to download Android 13 on Friday morning by clicking the Check for Update option under Settings System System update. The update for the Pixel 6 Pro is 1.02GB in size, compared to 876MB for the Pixel 5. This morning, we physically checked and received on three different devices in the steady channel.
