Without dealing with side loading, is there a trick to force a pixel 6 to update OTA on Google Fi?
I know in the past you could clear the storage for certain Google services on the device and it would magically find an update that it claimed wasn't available 10 seconds prior. But I've been out of the game for a bit. Do those tricks still work? My Google Fi pixel 6 doesn't show an update is available and I'm still on 13. I've only tried rebooting and trying again so far.
Have you tried this? I'm curious if it takes less time than OTA. It's an actual Google-made site.

OnePlus had an app called oxygen updater that you could use OTA files with. sad that Google doesn't have something similar because it was really useful
You can apply the OTA image over ADB if you're technical enough. Doesn't require too much.
It should hopefully not be long for you to get it - I got mine yesterday p6 pro on fi
I got mine a couple days ago and I'm on a Pixel 5.
Google rolls out updates in tiny batches and eventually increases the size of them.
