Is your Pixel getting the Android 16 QPR2 update? Here’s the full list

Google Pixel users, it’s time to buckle up for another big software update. On December 2, Google officially began rolling out Android 16 QPR2, and it’s chock-full of new features for your Pixel phone.

What kind of new features? We’re talking new app icon customization tools, better notification organization, lock screen widgets, and a whole lot more. It’s not quite as game-changing as Android 16 QPR1 was, but it’s still an excellent update nonetheless.

However, as with every Android update, there is a big looming question: Is your phone eligible? Let’s find out.

If you bought your Google Pixel phone within the last few years, chances are it’s being updated to Android 16 QPR2. Every Pixel model from as old as the Pixel 6 and right up to the latest Pixel 10 is supported, with the full list as follows:

• Pixel 6
• Pixel 6 Pro
• Pixel 6a
• Pixel 7
• Pixel 7 Pro
• Pixel 7a
• Pixel Tablet
• Pixel Fold
• Pixel 8
• Pixel 8 Pro
• Pixel 8a
• Pixel 9
• Pixel 9 Pro/9 Pro XL
• Pixel 9 Pro Fold
• Pixel 9a
• Pixel 10
• Pixel 10 Pro/10 Pro XL
• Pixel 10 Pro Fold

This is the standard list of supported Pixels we’ve come to expect for major Android updates like this, so while there isn’t anything surprising here, it is good to see that Google isn’t cutting any phones out unexpectedly.

If you have one of these Pixels and want to download Android 16 QPR2, it only takes a handful of taps. Your phone will eventually download the update automatically, but if you want to do it ASAP, follow these steps.

1. Open the Settings app on your Pixel phone.
2. Tap System.
3. Tap Software updates.
4. Tap System update.
5. Tap Check for update.
6. Wait for the update to download, then tap Restart now to finish.

And that’s it! Google just began rolling out Android 16 QPR2 on December 2, so if the update isn’t showing up for you yet, you may just need to wait a bit longer for it to appear. It’s also a fairly large update, coming in at 744MB on our Pixel 10 Pro, so be sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi before starting.
