TL;DR
- Verizon has details on the October update for Pixel phones.
- Details shared by the carrier indicate minor bug fixes.
- Google still hasn’t rolled out the monthly security patch for Pixel phones, but it should happen soon.
Google has yet to release its October 2025 Pixel update, nor has it shared any details about what’s coming. With the next major Pixel feature not expected until December, this month’s release is likely just a minor patch, which should start rolling out to Pixel devices soon.
According to from Verizon release RemarksThe update was supposed to arrive today, but at the time of writing, Google has not released it. Carrier documentation states that the Android security patch level remains “September 2025” and that of Google. October 2025 Android Security Bulletin does not yet list new vulnerabilities.

Here are the version numbers for the October 2025 Pixel Update, as reported by Verizon:
- Pixel 10: BD3A.251005.003.W3
- Pixel 7 – Pixel 9: BP3A.251005.004.B1
All devices from Pixel 7 to Pixel 10 are set to receive two UI fixes listed as follows:
- Fixed an issue that caused a semi-transparent background to appear after launching the camera.
- Fixed a system crash that could occur when starting or stopping streaming using the media output switcher.
Phones also receive additional fixes:
- Pixel 10 and Pixel 9: Fixed an issue where the flashlight status was not appearing in the At a Glance widget.
- Pixel 7: Fixed a display and graphics issue that caused the screen to flicker or turn off under certain conditions.
Once the October Pixel Update becomes available, it should also ideally come with a new security patch for the month. You can check your Pixel for available updates by going to Settings > System > Software Update.
