There aren\u2019t any notable user-facing changes in this update. In fact, Google doesn\u2019t even mention any bug fixes or functional improvements. Besides a security patch for a VPU driver vulnerability, there really isn\u2019t anything else here.<\/p>\n
Still, an update is an update, no matter how small. If you\u2019re curious about whether or not your Pixel is included in the February 2026 update wave, you\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n

Similar to most monthly security updates, almost every supported Pixel phone is receiving the February 2026 update. The full list of Pixels getting this latest update is as follows:<\/p>\n
Pixel 7a
\nPixel Tablet
\nPixel Fold
\nPixel 8
\nPixel 8 Pro
\nPixel 8a
\nPixel 9
\nPixel 9 Pro \/ 9 Pro XL
\nPixel 9 Pro Fold
\nPixel 9a
\nPixel 10
\nPixel 10 Pro \/ 10 Pro XL
\nPixel 10 Pro Fold<\/p>\n
If you recall, this is the same list of devices that received the January 2026 update last month<\/a>, so there aren\u2019t any changes on this front. However, that also means the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro are being skipped once again.<\/p>\n How to download the February 2026 update on your Pixel\n<\/p>\n If you have a supported Pixel, downloading the February 2026 update follows the same steps as any other Android update. If you need a refresher, here\u2019s what to do:<\/p>\n Open the\u00a0Settings app on your Pixel. Within a few seconds, your Pixel should automatically find the February 2026 update and start downloading it. The update size is only 25.30MB, so it should download quickly on any Wi-Fi network or mobile data connection.<\/p>\n We expect next month\u2019s March 2026 update to be significantly larger, as that should mark the release of Android 16 QPR3<\/a>. As unexciting as the February update may be, it\u2019s a good idea to get your Pixel prepped and up-to-date for the really big changes right around the corner.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n
