We will notify you when the update becomes available for download, but you can follow our social media platforms for that. However, if you are using a Pixel phone, you can check the update via Settings>>Security & Privacy >>System updates>>Google Play system update.

We understand the Theft Detection Lock and Offline Device Lock aren’t part of the current release, although you might see them after installing the new update. Google released those features with the September 2024 Play system update, though some people have yet to receive it. We still haven’t seen it on our Pixel 7 Pro, but hopefully, we will soon.
