For example: a number of Pixel say that since installing the latest update, they\u2019ve been experiencing touch screen issues, including erratic scrolling.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of Reddit threads are full of users who say their Pixels\u2019 touch screens are acting up since installing Android 17. It seems like issues can present in a couple of different ways, and multiple Pixel generations are affected.<\/p>\n<p>The touch issues can apparently either result in screens going temporarily unresponsive to touch input, or, stranger, interpreting vertical swipes as the opposite direction of a user\u2019s input: you swipe up, the UI responds as if you\u2019d swiped down.<\/p>\n<p>Comments say that Pixel 10, 9, 8, and 7 phones are affected, though that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean Pixel 6 phones are in the clear (Pixel 5 and older won\u2019t receive Android 17). Judging by the conversations going on in the linked threads, these problems can happen anywhere in the system UI, or in any app.<\/p>\n<p>Google is aware of the issue. The official PixelCommunity Reddit account replied to one of the posts, suggesting affected users clear the Pixel Launcher app\u2019s cache. At least one user says they tried that, but it didn\u2019t resolve the issue for them. Another user says disabling their Pixel 8 Pro\u2019s Smooth Display feature seemed to resolve the issue, but others haven\u2019t had the same success.<\/p>\n<p>This unusual touchscreen behavior is one of a few issues users have been having since updating. Yesterday, we saw reports that due to a work profile-related bug, some Pixel users have been losing access to home screen widgets.
