One of the biggest problems with mobile phones is the various vulnerabilities that keep them from functioning properly which is why phone makers constantly issue security updates to deal with the problem. However, most Android phones don't usually receive updates nearly as often as Google's own Pixel. And even after the updates have been issued, manufacturers still hesitate to provide the updates on time to their brands, preferring to be selective. But it seems as if that is about to change.

It's less than two months since Android Pie was launched and already 75 percent of Pixel phones are running the latest OS. According to Google Senior VP Rick Osterloh, over 75 percent of Pixel device owners are presently on Android Pie with more updating daily. This is to be expected since Google's devices are often the first to receive the updates right from day one. But the same cannot be said for other Android devices like Samsung because of the huge number of different Android hardware devices. Interestingly, the new Apple's iOS 12 is yet reach that high number of percentage. Instead its adoption rate is just closer to 50 percent. However, it should be noted that Android Pie has been around longer than iOS 12. The Pie was launched on August 6, while the iOS 12 started rolling out on September 18.

For reasons unknown, Google Assistant has been unable to play content on Netflix through Android TV device. This is strange for an OS that's basically supported by Chromecast functionality. Now Google seems to have fixed this issue as the Google Assistant can now play Netflix on Android TV. Other Assistant-enabled devices, such as the NVIDIA Shield and the new Xiaomi Mi Box have also been updated for this new functionality. When it Android TV was first launched, it was in a Google-made set-top box called the Nexus Player. While it may not be able to compete with other brands like Roku and Apple, or like Sony that similarly offer smart TVs with Android OS built in, Android TV has been growing little by little in the smart TV market. If you have an Android TV why not try out the new update and enjoy the experience
