But now with Google pixel users have been registering complaints about battery drainage on their devices. After the Google app received a new update the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 smartphone users started to complain about power loss.

The user of the Pixel 6 Pro reportedly described why their phone still overheated after leaving it idle on a wireless charger for an hour.
