The company said it is rolling out software updates to address these issues and make users' Pixel devices even better. Complaints about the Digital Wellbeing app have been going on for weeks. The software is in the userMobile phoneRun in the background, record the length of time they use certain applications, and allow users to set timers to limit usage.

Some Pixe series smartphones, especially Pixel 3 users, said that turning off the software would cause a so-called "day and night" difference in the performance of the phone.
