Google’s Pixel Watch battery fix is here, and you’ll find it in the Play Store
Key Points:
- Google has acknowledged a battery drain issue affecting a small number of Pixel Watch users and is rolling out an update to fix the problem.
- The fix does not require a Wear OS system update; users need to update their Pixel Watch apps via the Play Store on the watch.
- The battery drain bug has impacted all supported Pixel Watch models, causing battery life to drop from nearly two days to about 12-16 hours.
- Google has not disclosed the exact cause, but the issue appears to stem from a bug in one of the system apps rather than hardware failure.
- The update rollout will complete over the next few days, and users are advised to check for app updates periodically and restart their watches after updating.
