Android June 2022 security update changelog [Fixes]

Google has recently published the June 2022 security update on the official Android security bulletin page, where the changelog reads fixes to 35 severe issues. Apart from these fixes, the update also accompanies the Android 12L QPR3 and the latest Pixel Feature Drop.

Although, the June 2022 security patch mainly fixes the issues for all the Pixel devices. Yet, some optimizations took place only for the handsets that are dealing with that particular issue.

Consequently, the supported devices that are eligible for the latest fixes updates are Pixel 4 (XL), Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a (5G), Pixel 5, Pixel 5a (5G), Pixel 6, and Pixel 6 Pro.
