There was a part of me that thought we may not see a traditional May Android 15 security update for Pixel devices, knowing that Google is likely to release stable Android 16 in a couple of weeks at Google I/O. That part of me was wrong, as Google has done just that today by releasing the May 2025 Pixel update.
The list of devices receiving the May Pixel update includes the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet, as well as the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The Pixel 9a is seeing a fresh update as well.
Google says that this May update will begin rolling out today and should continue to do so in phases over the next week. The timing often depends on your carrier, whether that’s Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or prepaid, like Google Fi.
The full list of May Android update builds can be found below for your specific Pixel device, with a breakdown for global, specific countries, and select carriers.
