Ta-da, apart from offering fix for some long-known issues, the November security update has triggered a new problem on Google’s Pixel 2 smartphones – push notifications are not working for certain apps. New updates, so new troubles.

Users are now complaining of not receiving push notification for apps like Gmail, Whatsapp, and ESPN etc after installing the November update. Several of them took to the official Pixel help community, Reddit, and XDA to highlight the glitch.

Presumably because of escalating number of complaints, Google is now asking those affected to post details here, which usually conveys that the company has actively started investigating the problem.

Here’s what Orrin (a Google employee and the Community Manager at Pixel User Community) said this morning, while addressing the matter in question

We are seeing a few reports from users saying they are not receiving push notifications for certain apps after the November update. If this is happening to you, can you post here with more details. I’ll reach out for more information
