Google Pixel phones have been enjoying increasing popularity for years. However, they seem to have a crucial disadvantage, as numerous users report.
Google Pixel Phones Take a Little Longer in this Aspect
THe issue affects notifications received on Google Pixel phones, one of the most basic functions of modern smartphones. With the US tech giant’s phones, users repeatedly struggle because of significant delays, receiving notifications way late.
What’s particularly strange is that the problems occur not only with older models but also with new ones. For example, someone reported on Reddit a few days ago, “[I] Got the Pixel 10 Pro on launch, and since then it is impossible to get notifications on time.”

“It’s Wild”
This seems to primarily affect Google Home notifications. The post continues, “often I would unlock the phone and see a flurry of notifications from Google Home about camera activity popping up. Funny enough, these notifications are not time stamped to when the phone was unlocked, but when the event happened. So it is super common for a Google Home notification to pop up with 30 mins ago written on it.”
But even those who don’t use Google Home are likely familiar with the problem, because the “same happens with other apps too.” Several users in the comments confirm the issue. One response saying, “lately, EVERYTHING is delayed. Even text messages won’t actually notify me until I unlock the phone. It’s wild.”
The bug seems to affect numerous models of Google Pixel phones. Additionally, there is currently no solution, neither from Google nor from user reports. As someone writes in the Reddit post, “I have played around quite a bit with the nest Wi-Fi pro routers, ipv6, DNS settings, and nothing seems to work.”
