The Mountain View-based tech giant says the Android 16-based monthly software update includes a fix for an issue which resulted in the scheduled dark theme feature to stop working under certain conditions. It also rectifies a bug that caused issues with both three-button and gesture navigation options on Pixel.
There are also general improvements for system stability and performance in certain conditions. However, Google states that some fixes might be carrier or region specific and thus, not available in all markets.

It is said to be a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability which is rated high in severity. Pixel phone users can install the latest monthly update, which includes a fix for the issue.
