Google rolled out Android 15 last week for the compatible Pixel line of smartphones. The latest Android OS brings improvements and new features over the last version. After the rollout, folks with a compatible Pixel device installed the update to try out the new features.

From the sounds of things it’s not actually the Android 15 update that’s causing the problems; it’s actually setting up the Private Space feature. At least three users have come across the same issue and posted about their experiences on Reddit. Two of those users had a Pixel 6, while a third had a Pixel 6 Pro.

As reports of bricked devices continue to emerge online, we suggest users to not install Android 15 on Pixel 6 devices just yet.

Android 15 introduces a completely new design to the expanded Android volume panel on Pixels — with larger, more easily adjusted sliders for specific sorts of media volumes as well as a more prominent button to shift your phone’s audio output from the phone itself to any connected devices.

With the latest Android 15 upgrade, the Google pixel devices come with design changes, a new theft detection lock, private space, and more features.

Some Pixel 6 owners report that their device went completely dead after installing the Android 15 update and enabling Private Space.

The Android 15 update for Pixel devices is causing unexpected bricking of Pixel 6 devices. Users report their Pixel 6 becoming completely unresponsive, with troubleshooting methods yielding no results.
