to eligible Pixel smartphones last week, but it seems like the update has affected an older model — the Pixel 6. Some owners have reported that the latest software update has ‘bricked’ their smartphone, rendering it unusable. While some users claim that the issue occurred after they enabled a new feature introduced on Android 15, other users state that their handset stopped working while they were using it. The Pixel 6 was previously affected by a multi-user bug that also caused some units to get bricked.

to the post, revealing that they faced the same issue with their Pixel 6 Pro.

However, it’s currently unclear whether the Private Space feature is affecting Pixel 6 owners, as some owners who never used the feature after updating to Android 15 are also complaining that their smartphones stopped working. User u/WesternConfection435

that their Pixel 6 was bricked after the screen displayed two “blue static bars” at the top of their screen. They also claim that they were unable to use the smartphone as the display would not turn on after the incident.

This isn’t the first update related issue to affect Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro owners — the Android 14 update that rolled out to Pixel phones last year left several models unusable due to a storage bug.
