Millions of Pixel users have already upgraded to Android 15, with the latest version of the OS promising a wealth of security and privacy updates. Announcing its release last week, Google promised “security features that help keep your sensitive health, financial and personal information protected from theft and fraud.”

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.

Users on Reddit have reported issues with the Pixel 6/6 Pro after updating to Android 15. The issue seems to be confined to the enabling of Private Spaces as users observe unresponsive devices. The Pixel 6 series had an issue in July with its factory reset function, which started bricking devices.

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

On Android 15, Private Space lets you hide apps, but multiple users on Reddit say the feature killed their Pixel 6 smartphones.

Android 15 seems to be bricking certain Pixel 6 models, with the issue potentially linked to the new Private Space feature.
