I've been using a Google Pixel 6a for a while now. When I got it, it had Android 13 and at some point I could install the update to Android 14. But I never experienced any unattended updates without my consent. All system updates and also app updates in Google Play have to be confirmed before they get installed. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
