Stembolt Latest Google Pixel update makes the delayed notification problem even worse Following the April 2025 update for Google Pixel devices, more and more users are running into problems with delayed notifications, an issue that was already affecting many. If you’ve noticed over the past few weeks that notifications on your Google Pixel device are coming in late or even not at all until you open the device, you’re not alone. Users on Reddit (via Android Police) have noticed that notifications on their Pixel devices are being delayed. Often, the device won’t show notifications until you unlock the device, at which point a flood of notifications can arrive. We’ve noticed this problem on a Pixel 9 Pro Fold running on the April update, and it appears to be reasonably widespread.
