Google has just confirmed that one of the weirder, yet equally annoying bug that affects many Pixel phones by briefly freezing the touchscreen, has been fixed.

If you’ve been experiencing brief freezes of your Pixel’s touchscreen, it’s because of a bug related to apps that use a specific accessibility service that handles gestures.

The freeze usually happens the moment the battery meter of the Pixel drops by 1%, but it only lasts for a second or two. Unfortunately, there’s no workaround at the moment, so you’ll have to wait for the fix to arrive as early as next month.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
