Today 6/12: As of 10:30 a.m. PT, there’s still no Feature Drop or updates on the Factory Images page. The last comparable delay is the release of Android 13 on August 15 when Google held back the monthly update by two weeks. This comes as some users are already seeing Emoji Wallpapers (on Android 14), with overnight SpO2 similarly live for some Pixel Watch owners.

*Original 6/5: Historically, Google releases Pixel security patches on the first Monday of the month at 10 a.m. In March, Android 13 QPR2 rolled out a week late, while the Verizon variant for the Pixel 6 and 6a series took another seven days. Despite being a more minor update, the same thing happened in April. Things went back to normal last month, but the delay has now returned.

Any ideas of what the new features will be?

This would be my first feature drop after I bought the phone, really excited.

Even though it might something completely useless but still, feel like a child again waiting for it.

Edit: WTF, just went to the settings to check if there was an update and there IS!!!

Also here are the list of features: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/220747236/hands-free-photos-spo2-and-more-for-the-pixel-family?hl=en&sjid=7973554477627487183-AP

I'm so sad that the adaptive haptic isn't coming to the pixel 7 :( that sounds like such a useful feature.
