If you have a Google Pixel 4 or Google Pixel 4 XL, there is a new OTA update that you can download.
If you're a Pixel 4 or Pixel 4 XL owner, you'll be happy to know that Google has pushed out one final update for the smartphones.

The lawsuit states that radio personalities were used to promote the handset, with nearly 29,000 "deceptive endorsements" made during that time. The lawsuit has been settled and bars Google and iHeartMedia from misleading the public on any future advertisements, and they will also be required to pay $9.4 million in penalties.
