Google Fixes 5 Bugs in April Pixel Update

As a part of the April Google Pixel update, Google has included several bug fixes that could take care of something that was driving you nuts. There are 5 mentioned fixes and they touch on things like game crashes, missing search bars, and a fix for Quick Share crashing.

This April Pixel update isn’t considered major by any means. We received a Pixel Feature Drop and quarterly build in March, so this one was expected to be on the smaller side. Seeing 5 bug fixes is pretty typical for a non-quarterly update month.

The full list from Google can be seen below.
