A major app-crashing issue plagued Pixel 10 and some Pixel 9 devices for about a week.The bug made almost nearly all the apps to crash, making phones temporarily disabled. Users had to uninstall the latest Google Play services update to get their apps functional. Google has quickly resolved the issue and things are back to the way they should be.
A user who also experienced the problem shared on X that the issue had been fixed. According to Arten Russakovskii , multiple Google teams were pushed to fix the bug quickly, leading to the issue now resolved. The exact cause of the issue isn’t confirmed yet but it definitely has something to do with Google Play services.
Regarding this server update, users don’t have to manually update anything. Google will roll out the update to all affected devices, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 9 devices. The problem that basically rendered the Pixel phones useless is now fixed. It was so bad that every installed app on the phones crashed each time users tried to open them. With many users complaining about the same thing, Google had to treat the issue as a high-priority problem that needed a quick solution.
Hopefully, major issues like this won’t occur again. Even if they do, Google has proven that its teams are ever-ready to get to the root of the matter and provide solutions.

Samsung’s XR headset is set to launch on 21st October, and it’s bringing an immersive experience to some apps. Google Photos will have a special feature to create a more immersive feel.
The Galaxy XR headset runs on the Android XR, which is a specialised version of Android designed specifically for XR headsets. It features a dual-4K Micro OLED display that allows it to showcase spatial visuals. Using this, it will bring spatial content from Google Photos to life.
In version 7.50 of the Google Photos app, there is a new tab labelled Spatial that displays 360-degree and panorama shots. Images in that category can be viewed with the XR headset to be visually immersed in the expansive environment.
Panorama images aren’t the only ones that can be viewed on the headset. Regular pictures can be cast from the smartphone to the headset on the app. To access the feature, tap on the Go Immersive button that can be seen at the top of the regular image. It isn’t certain if it will copy Apple’s 2D to 3D image conversion like the Vision Pro headset.
Google is expected to unveil this feature during the Galaxy XR launch. Google, Samsung, and some third-party developers may provide immersive apps that utilise the full display of the headset. The device will also support standard Android apps in a windowed mode.
