GOOGLE is issuing a critical alert for millions of phone users to look out for this month to ensure security.

It involves the next software update to address serious security vulnerabilities and enhance performance of devices.

The latest software update for the month of July 2025 will roll out in phases over the coming week.

Devices to receive the alert

It is for Google Pixel devices, specifically to provide new security patch and bug fixes to the Pixel 6a to Pixel 9 series.

The July update started rolling out to users yesterday, and also includes firmware for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel Tablet.

Google Pixel users with series 6a to 9, as well as Tablet, can therefore expect to receive a notification once the update is available to their device.

What the update involves

The latest firmware comes with a BP2A.250705.008 version number.

Issues in Android Auto are said to be addressed in the new firmware, such as providing a smoother visual experience, as well as improved Wi-Fi connectivity stability.

A statement from the Google Pixel Support Team wrote: “All supported Pixel devices will remain security compliant for the full duration of their support window.”

“We encourage you to check your Android version and update to receive the latest software,” they added.

How to check and update your Android

To check which Android version is currently installed on your device, open the Settings app.

Here you can also find the security update level and Google Play system level.

It is also where you can check for updates, as notifications appear when they become available.

After navigating to the Settings app, tap ‘System’ followed by ‘Software update’ where you will find your update status.

Then follow the on-screen instructions.

It is useful to note that it is normal for Android devices to drain more batter after a software update.

This is because it is working hard to download, optimise, and install the update.

Most system updates and security patches happen automatically, but to get security and Google Play system updates, go to Security and Privacy in the Settings app.

Then tap System and updates, where you can find the different available updates.

If these do not appear, you can try restarting your phone.
