Some Android users are seeing a strange problem with the latest Google Play system update. People on Android phones report that after updating, their phones show an older version instead of the January 2026 update.

Phones that were on the January 1, 2026, update got a new update notification. After installing it, the phone showed November 1, 2025, as the update date. This seems confusing, but it does not appear to cause any serious problems.

Some users found that uninstalling the November 2025 update brought back the January 2026 version. This makes users think that Google may have accidentally labeled a new update, probably February 2026, as November 2025. It seems like a simple mistake with the date, not a real downgrade.

The issue has been reported mostly by Pixel users, but other phones, like OnePlus and Samsung, might also see it. It affects phones on both stable and beta versions.

There is no need to worry. The update does not seem to cause any bugs or problems. The best advice is to stay on the latest update, even if it shows the wrong date. If Google needs to fix anything, it will release a new update.

For now, just make sure your phone has all updates installed. This looks like a labeling mistake, and everything should work normally. Stay tuned for more information.
