If you’ve been hit with those nasty issues after the Android 14 update – you know, the ones messing with multiple profiles on your Pixel devices – Google’s got a new fix. It’s like a rescue mission for your data, and it might just save the day.
Quick recap: Some of you couldn’t get to your files, some got stuck in reboot loops, and for others, it was like your phone slammed the door shut and wouldn’t let you in.
So, Google tried to patch things up with a fix through Google Play services first. Then, they dropped an official fix for the multiple user bug, mainly helping those who could still access their phones. But if your Pixel was stuck in a reboot loop, you had to take the nuclear option – a factory reset that waved goodbye to your precious data.
But here’s the latest scoop – Google just unleashed a “specialized solution” for those of you who couldn’t even get into your devices after the Android 14 update. No need for a factory reset this time, but you gotta connect your phone or tablet to a computer using a USB cable to apply the Android 14 patch without wiping the slate clean. Google says this will “recover partial data,” but they’re a bit hush-hush on the details.
To get the lowdown on applying this superhero fix, head to the Android 14 support thread. The process might vary based on where you are and who your carrier is. If you’ve already reported your rebooting drama to Google, keep an eye on your inbox – they might be sliding into your DMs to help you rescue your Pixel from the update havoc.
