This is the best summary I could come up with:


In October, Pixel phones faced a nightmare storage bug that caused bootlooping, inaccessible devices, and data loss.

The recent post says, "The symptoms are all the same" as that October bug, with "internal storage not getting mounted, camera crashes, Files app shows no files, screenshots not getting saved, internal storage shows up empty in ADB Shell, etc."

In the October bug, users were locked out of their system storage due to a strange permissions issue.

The issue in October arrived as part of the initial Android 14 release and only affected devices that had multiple users set up.

Picking through the posts, it's unclear if there's a certain type of user that should be more wary of the January 2024 Google Play update.

You can check your current version on a Pixel phone by going to Settings, Security & Privacy, then "System & updates."
