Google is rolling out a minor new update for the Pixel 5a, three months after its software support ends. The update includes various fixes related to adaptive brightness, Bluetooth routing, and media player notification. Google has a history of releasing minor bug-fixing updates for Pixel devices a few months after they reach their end of life.

Google has resumed Wear OS 5 updates for the Pixel Watch. It had pulled the update for the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 in September.

Google is reportedly pushing out a minor new software update to the Pixel 5a, which has already reached end-of-life.

For Pixel 5a fans, the end seemingly came this month. Google launched the device back in August of 2021, and said it would offer three years of software support for it, so August 2024's security patch for the Pixel 5a should have been the last update for the device.
