But as Android Police reports, this is the final guaranteed patch for the Pixel 4 and 4 XL devices.
The patch apparently sorts out an issue that causes occasional humming noises when taking a call with a wired headset.
It also resolves a problem which prevented device volume controls in media player notification to work under certain conditions.
Elsewhere, Google has fixed some connectivity, user interface and Wi-Fi errors.
It all comes days ahead of the tech giant’s latest big product launch event.
Google is tipped to reveal brand new versions of its Pixel smartphone line.
Moving into its 7th generation, two new Pixels are expected: The Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro.
But it’s not the only rumoured device.
