Pixel 10 users are dealing with significant app crashes following the October 2025 update, reportedly due to a conflict with Google Play Services. Apps frequently freeze, get stuck on the splash screen, or display 'not responding' errors.
Issues and Causes
Since the October 2025 update, numerous owners of Pixel 10 smartphones report persistent app crashes. Common problems include apps freezing or closing unexpectedly soon after launch. Efforts to resolve these by clearing caches or reinstalling apps have shown limited success.
- Google Play Services conflict may be the root cause of these crashes.
- Other Android devices do not seem to be affected significantly.
Temporary Fixes
Several users have discovered that uninstalling and reinstalling updates for Google Play Services and the Google Play Store can temporarily alleviate the issue. However, this approach might lead to users being signed out of Google accounts and could bring about additional complications. Using this method requires caution. As of now, Google has not officially addressed the problem.
Possible Solutions
Users experiencing these issues may consider refraining from updating Google Play Services until an official hotfix is available. Until then, temporary solutions or avoiding updates may be necessary to maintain device functionality.
