Google\u2019s November update<\/a> should be coming very soon to Pixel phones, providing some relief for a critical bug affecting people with multiple user profiles on their devices. The update \u2014 spotted by 9to5Google<\/em><\/a> \u2014 contains a fix for an issue \u201coccasionally causing devices with multiple users enabled to show out of space or be in a reboot loop,\u201d which was affecting Pixel 6 phones and later<\/a> running Android 14. The update will start arriving on Pixel phones beginning today, with the rollout continuing through the next week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This particular bug was a nasty one<\/a>. In some cases, people were unable to access their media storage, while others were entirely shut out of their phones in a boot cycle that required a factory device reset. For people with the former problem, it seems that this update should restore access to the device\u2019s media. The news is mixed for people with a phone stuck in a reboot cycle. An update last week mentioned that the fix Google was working on \u201cmay not enable data to be recovered for devices that are repeatedly rebooting.\u201d You\u2019ll be able to use your phone again, but hopefully you backed up your data!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The bug affected Pixel phones with multiple user profiles, which Google says includes child users, guests, and restricted profiles. It did not <\/em>affect people running multiple Google accounts as the primary user on a device \u2014 which is good because my Pixel 8 review units are both logged into my work and personal Gmail accounts. As such, it doesn\u2019t seem that the problem was widespread, but it was<\/em> a real pain in the buns for those affected. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As of last week, Google advised anyone with a Pixel phone running Android 14 not to create or log into another user profile. With today\u2019s update, that\u2019s probably safe to do now \u2014 just, you know, back up your data before you do. Just in case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
