Google Pixel phones enjoy long-term software support that many users of other brands would like. However, fans of these devices have grown accustomed to strange feature behaviors after some updates. This seems to be happening again with the latest April 2025 update. According to reports, some Google Pixel devices are experiencing delayed notifications after installing the new firmware.
Notifications are among the key features you expect to work well on your smartphone. They basically will keep you updated on everything that’s happening in your apps and messaging services. Proper notification operation is necessary for both everyday situations and professional environments. That said, lately, this feature has been causing problems for Pixel handset users.
Delayed notifications on Pixel devices after installing the April 2025 update
As reported on Reddit and support forums, some Google Pixel device owners are experiencing delayed notifications after installing the latest April 2025 update. It’s as if the device silently “accumulates” all the notifications it receives while locked. Then, they all pop up at once when you unlock your smartphone. In some cases, the notifications are completely missing—they never arrive, even after unlocking the device.
Users claim that the issue even affects the VoIP calling feature of messaging apps like WhatsApp. So, it appears that the latest monthly update messed up background notification handling. The number of reports is not extremely high at the moment, though. This suggests that the issue could be occurring in a small percentage of units. Still, the official Pixel Community account is tracking reports to raise them with the development team.
Interestingly, the changelog for the latest monthly update for Pixel phones doesn’t mention any changes or improvements to notifications. It’s intriguing that the firmware is affecting this particular aspect. Hopefully, those affected will receive a solution soon in the form of a hotfix.
