If you’ve updated to Android 16 and noticed that your Google Pixel device is slower to wake up or get past the lockscreen, you’re not alone.
The initial Android 16 release for Google Pixel devices doesn’t really feel any different from Android 15, but there are some changes under the hood in preparation for the future. The update is, overall, pretty stable, but some Google Pixel owners have found an issue.
On the stable Android 16 release, some are reporting that their Google Pixel’s display is slow to wake up and get to the lockscreen following this latest update. The issue, reported across multiple threads on Google’s forums and Reddit, leaves the device either slow to wake up when the screen is tapped, when the power button is pressed, or both. When the screen does finally come to life, the lockscreen lags a bit when going through to the rest of Android.
For obvious reasons, that’s a bit frustrating.

Some users say that a reboot temporarily fixes the problem, but it seems to be persistent.
Update: Speaking to 9to5Google, Google says that a fix for this issue has starting rolling out as of July 8. The update is automatic, presumably meaning server-side.
A fix for this issue has begun rolling out today. It’s automatic and users don’t need to take any action
