Android 13 August security update started rolling out to Pixel phones
The rollout has started, but it may take a bit of time to arrive to all of you. You may get it today, or in a couple of days, as this is a staged rollout, of course. Now, this update resolves 39 security issues, ranging from high to critical.
Google also released a dedicated bulletin that lists five additional security fixes, with separate builds, for Japan, T-Mobile, and MVNOs, Google Fi (US), and Verizon & MVNOs (US).
Some fixes for the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet have been listed separately. Both devices have received a fix for a problem that was occasionally causing Bluetooth keyboards to not connect.
The PIxel Tablet is also getting a fix for an issue that occasionally caused flickering or glitches while using the Hub Mode.
The Pixel Fold is receiving some additional fixes
Three additional fixes are listed for the Pixel Fold only. If you were having issues with certain Live Wallpapers, that should no longer be the case. Google fixed the issue in which they were displaying incorrectly in different device orientations.
An issue that caused the lock screen to not respond at times has also been fixed. The last issue for the device mentions a home screen launcher issue. It did not respond to search input at times, that should no longer be the case.
