Update Your Google Pixel’s Apps

Similarly to cell phone manufacturers, app developers regularly release software updates to keep their apps free from bugs. It’s easy to miss when these updates are made available, as users aren’t usually notified like they are for their cell phones’ operating systems.

1. Open the Google Play Store.
2. Tap Menu.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Select Auto-Update Apps.

Why this works:

When an app misses several updates, it can begin to interfere with your cell phone’s ability to function. Making sure all of your apps are up to date will lower the likelihood of any software issues that might be causing your Pixel’s error.

Pro tip:

Enabling the Auto-Update Apps function on your Pixel will ensure that all of the apps on your cell phone will stay caught up on software updates.
