A number of Google Pixel phones in Canada and the U.S. were hit with a Daylight Saving Time update bug on March 14th.
Some Google Pixel devices did not update and jump ahead an hour once Daylight Saving Time started Sunday morning. Although the bug is inconvenient, it can, fortunately, be fixed with a quick reboot.
Users who encountered the bug took to Reddit to report the bug after seeing that their phones didn’t jump from 2am to 3am.
9to5Google reports that for some users, the issue activated the Google Clock app’s ‘Automatic home clock’ feature where a clock for your home time is added when you’re travelling in an area with a different time zone. Users saw the correct time in the Clock app but not for the system.
Those who experienced the bug note that their devices were set to the default ‘network-provided time’ and ‘time zone’ preference in their settings.
It’s worth noting that Google’s Pixel phones haven’t experienced a bug with Daylight Saving Time in the past, so it’s unknown what caused it this time around.
Users who are experiencing the bug can fix it by rebooting their device. Google has yet to acknowledge the bug and it’s unclear if it plans to.
