Google Pixel 6's December update was supposed to bring a number of features and improvements to the flagship series. Instead, it seems that the update has resulted in a few bugs plaguing Google's smartphone series. Google has confirmed that the December update causes network issues in some Pixel 6 series devices in Europe. While the Silicon Valley giant is yet to roll out an official fix for the bug, a Pixel 6 owner has found what seems to be an easy workaround that claims to fix the issue.

The Redditor u/vachezoub points out that installing the latest Google Carrier Services beta update on the Pixel 6 seems to fix the network issues. On Reddit, the user describes that he initially got his SIM card replaced hoping to get the issue fixed. However, that didn't help. Later, the user installed the latest Google Carrier services beta update on the Pixel 6 and found out that that issue was fixed. Several other Redditors have installed the latest beta package on their phone and the users say that they're no longer facing issues like poor network connectivity or slow mobile data speeds on their Pixel 6.

It seems that this fix is working on many Pixel 6 units. So, if you wish to try it on your Pixel device, go ahead and follow the steps mentioned in the guide down below and install the latest Google Carrier Services Beta update on your smartphone.
