Over on Reddit, justbecause0907 reported similar issues on their Pixel 10 Pro XL after installing the update. They discovered that Wi-Fi only breaks when Quick Share is actively trying to send files. This points to a conflict between the sharing protocol and the Wi-Fi radio.
MrWhiteford chimed in, noting that their Pixel 10 Pro now disables Wi-Fi when attempting to Quick Share files to a Windows PC, forcing the use of Bluetooth – a painfully slow alternative.
A bug report was filed on Google’s Issue Tracker, but it was reportedly closed and redirected to user support forums. When users were then redirected back to the tracker by support, the ticket remained closed, leaving many feeling unheard. This back-and-forth echoes the frustration surrounding other unresolved Pixel issues.
This incident brings to mind Google’s ongoing struggles with the Pixel telephoto camera stutter bug, where users similarly faced unclear responses and a lack of resolution.
The common thread among the reports seems to be Google Play Services version 25.45.34 and Quick Share extension 1.0.815689706 running on Android 16. This information could be crucial for Google developers as they investigate the root cause of the problem.
The issue seems to affect various Wi-Fi networks, both at home and work, suggesting it’s not tied to specific router configurations.
If you’re a Pixel 10 user experiencing Wi-Fi issues when using Quick Share, you’re not alone. But the volume of complaints needs to increase to get Google’s attention. Share your experiences in the Pixel Help Community and other online forums.
Google’s Quick Share feature was designed to simplify our digital lives. For now, it appears to be adding unnecessary complexity and frustration. Hopefully, a fix is on the horizon.
