The Android 17 update started rolling out to Google Pixel phones on June 16th, with Samsung phones expected to receive the update soon. For most Pixel users, it has been fine. For a significant and growing number, it hasn’t.
The issues range of “erratic” touchscreen input, widgets disappearing and phones not connecting to 5G. One user on Google's own Pixel support forum titled their post "Pixel June 2026 update disaster" and judging by the experiences of others, they're not alone.
Here’s a handful of reported issues with several complaints backing them up, which devices are affected, and what you can do about each one.

This is the most widely reported new bug. Swipe up and the page scrolls down, as one Redditor explained, or "erratic random scrolling" another complained about. Other touchscreen issues appear to include screen taps registering for several seconds and dead zones where parts of the screen simply don’t respond. Affected devices include the Pixel 7, 8, 9, and 10 series.
The official Pixel Community account on Reddit advised affected users to clear the cache of the Pixel Launcher app, or reboot in safe mode. If the problem persists, Google says the issue may be a third-party app and removing them one by one to find the culprit is the best workaround.
But another Redditor found that turning off triple tap to zoom in the accessibility settings fixed some touchscreen issues, which others claimed worked on their devices too.
Workaround: Settings > Apps > See all apps > Pixel Launcher > Storage & cache > Clear cache. If that doesn’t work, reboot into safe mode to see if problems persist. If they don't, it may be a third-party app issue. Alternatively, turning off triple tap to zoom in accessibility settings may work too.
A 5G connectivity issue is dropping affected Pixels to LTE or causing full signal loss, with missing eSIM profiles and Wi-Fi networks failing to auto-reconnect also reported. This affects the Pixel 9 series, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, and Pixel 6a.
Workaround: Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Mobile Network Settings. This resets Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mobile data configs but not personal data. Some users claimed this worked on their devices.
Widgets vanish from the home screen after the first reboot post-update. Affects the Pixel 9, Pixel 10, Pixel 6a and others. Google has acknowledged it and says it is actively working on a fix.
Workaround: One user in the Pixel support thread replied with the following solution: turn on Extreme Battery Saver and then turn it off. Alternatively, toggle Focus Mode on and off. Some claimed this brought their widgets back.
ForbesGoogle Rolls Out Urgent Pixel Update For Android 14 Media BugReported by some Pixel 10 Pro users, including the original "disaster" post. The bottom Google search bar loses its Gemini icon, Google Lens button, and voice input. Folders on the home screen also disappeared for one Pixel support forum user. The fix in the original post was to uninstall their work profile, which sounds similar to a multiple profiles issue from 2023 that removed access to local files.
Workaround: Uninstall and reinstall your work profile. A lot of effort, but it worked for the original poster.
If you haven't updated yet and your Pixel is working fine, waiting a week or two for Google to address and ship fixes is completely reasonable. You'll miss the new Android 17 features in the meantime, but they'll be there when the update is more stable.
If you’ve already updated your Google Pixel phone and you’re not experiencing any of the above, you're likely in the majority. Many Pixel owners have reported no issues at all, and the bugs listed here, while significant, are not universal. Google does fix major problems, it addressed a storage issue that affected Pixel users with multiple profiles on their phones in 2023 and 2024. Google has also confirmed a fix is already on the way for the widget issue. The most complained-about issues get Google's attention, so don't be shy about airing yours.
