If you own a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro, you don't have to wait until March 20th to protect yourself from a major vulnerability,
that requires only the phone number of the targeted device in order to get access to incoming and outgoing data such as cell calls, cell data, and text messages. The scary thing is that the phone can be compromised without the owner of the device ever knowing. The Pixel March security update will patch this vulnerability which is great for all models except the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
The March update for eligible Pixel models was supposed to be disseminated on March 6th. Instead, it was pushed out on March 13th except for the Pixel 6 line which has to wait until March 20th. So for the next few days, those with a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro are told bythat they should turn off Voice-over-LTE and Wi-Fi calling if they can. But there is another way to get protected now.
As a member of the Android 13 QPR Beta program, I installed the first Beta update a few days ago and it comes with the March security patch. Once you install the QPR3 Beta 1 update, you can not return to the stable public version of Android until June 5th which is when the June Feature Drop is expected to be released. At that time, you will have an option allowing you to exit the QPR3 Beta program without having to wipe your phone.
