FULL STORY ======================================================================The latest Pixel update is breaking Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the camera on some phones The Google Pixel 10 series seems the most frequently affected There's no real fix right now, so hopefully this will be patched soon

Android updates are meant to improve your phone, but in the case of the
latest update to the Google Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro series, it has
seemingly done the opposite for a lot of users.

The January 2026 update rolled out to Pixel devices last week, complete with bug fixes, security patches, and improved GPU performance. But a number of Pixel 10 series owners are reporting that it has also broken their Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and in some cases the camera as well.

9to5Google has spotted numerous threads across Reddit and Googles own forums with complaints about these issues. So while its not clear exactly how widespread this is, its not limited to one or two users, with a Reddit poster noting that youre certainly not the only one in reply to another victim of this bug.

And while it mostly seems to be Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL models that are affected, other Pixel devices dont seem totally
immune, with for example a Google Pixel 8 Pro owner stating that their Wi-Fi had broken too. The Google Pixel 10 (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) No practical fixes

So what can you do? Well if you somehow havent already downloaded this
update, wed suggest holding off, regardless of what Pixel model you have but especially if you have a Pixel 10-series device.

If you have already downloaded this update and youre experiencing these issues, then we dont have any good news. Users report having tried rebooting, booting into safe mode, resetting network settings, and even factory
resetting their phones, all to no avail.

One user did report that disabling Google Play Services and the Fitbit app fixed their issues, but if you disable the former then you wont be able to access the Google Play Store, and many of Googles own apps wont function properly either, so this isnt much of a solution.

The real solution is probably simply to wait until Google rolls out a fix,
but its unclear how soon that will be. Weve reached out to Google for comment and will update this article if we hear back.
