Google Pixel 6 / Pro / 6a mobile phones release a fix for the GPS issues

It looks like a new security update for Google's Pixel 6 devices has been put on hold for now. Instead, Google Pixel 6 users will get a different update starting this week. The new update focuses on fixing potential GPS issues on the Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6, and Pixel 6a. The Google team announced that a new firmware update will be rolling out to all Pixel 6 devices starting today. The update for all three devices will roll out in stages. According to the official description, the update fixes a GPS issue. The bug causes the smartphone to experience "GPS location failure" in some cases.
