Summary
Following its official debut last month, Google is now rolling out Android 17 to compatible Pixel phones, alongside additional exclusive features as part of the June Pixel Drop. Android 17 itself is arriving on Pixel phones today, and Google says other manufacturers will be issuing the update throughout 2026. The update also includes Screen Reactions, which make it easy to record selfie video while you screen-record, taking the hassle out of recording a reaction video for social media. There are more new features rolling out exclusively to Pixel phones, though most are wider expansions of existing abilities. There are plenty of features announced at the Android Show that aren’t included in today’s rollout.
