Pixel users complain app crash, battery drain and other issues after installing Android 12

Google rolled out the Android 12 operating system update to old Pixel devices recently. Days after, Pixel users have started complaining about devices getting crashed after the update. While some complained about facing issues while unlocking their device, others complained that apps on their phones keep crashing and the problem does not go away even after phone reset. Some, via posts on Pixel support page, reported about fast battery drain on the Pixel phones once the update is installed. Many also reported having issues related to the camera app.

This is not the first time users have complained about facing issues on their phones after an update. Smartphones, especially the Pixel lineup have traditionally faced problems. But it seemed to have peaked in 2018 with Pixel 3 and Pixel 3XL.
