The November 2023 security patch for Pixel phones is seeding with a build number UP1A.231105.003. It brings about seven bug fixes and improves performance and stability. Unfortunately, the changelog didn’t mention a fix for the Always-on Display text issues affecting the Pixel 8 Pro. Google already released a resloved it for Android 14 QPR1 Beta 2.2, perhaps it will arrive for stable users with that December 2023 feature drop.
