Verizon Pixel, Pixel XL Update: Latest December Update Comes With Bug Fixes, Security Patches [DETAILS]

The update is carrying a build number of NMF26O and extend to the handsets over-the-air (OTA). Verizon released a full changelog of the update, indicating a complete list of issues fixed, GSMArena reported.

Through the latest update, Verizon has now fixed errors in their visual voicemail messaging. In the past, customers could not retrieve their Visual Voicemail messages and were getting an error 9999 in some areas.

Other issues fixed are the voicemail icon notification not displaying when a new voicemail message was received, and with devices stopped playing voicemail messages over Bluetooth after the screen timed out.

Google Pixel devices occasionally going to blue screen during an inbound call is also included in the said update, along with resolved issue on email font being too small, some texts not properly displayed on the call screen/dialer, and texts that are corrupted on the Recent Calls and contact list screens.
