The second week of November will end in about three days from now, and Google has yet to push this month’s update for compatible Pixel phones. That should soon change, with Verizon accidentally publishing the release notes of this month’s security patch.
Google typically holds back on major features for its Quarterly Feature Drop. With its monthly updates, Google focuses on fixing reported security vulnerabilities and squashing notable bugs. The October update for Pixels was a relatively minor one. In comparison, the upcoming November build seems to pack a lot more bug fixes.
Below is the full change log that Verizon accidentally published and has since revoked. The folks at Droid Life managed to save a copy, though.

Verizon had accidentally published the October build’s change log ahead of time as well.
Google skipped the October update for the Pixel 6 family. And it might do so again with this month’s build. Verizon’s update list only includes build numbers for the Pixel 8 through Pixel 10 lineup and the Pixel 7a. With the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro missing, it’s possible Verizon simply doesn’t have the complete information yet.
A surprise Feature Drop?
Google might surprise us with a November Feature Drop. A leak indicates this month’s Pixel update could add support for one-tap theme packs. This is not mentioned in Verizon’s release notes, though.
Nonetheless, with the November build’s release notes leaked, Google should push the update today (November 11) or later this week.
