Pixel 4-specific fixes in the January update start with the new Google Assistant now working properly with the flashlight toggle. On the screen front, there’s a fix for color shifting at lower brightness, while the 90Hz panel now supports the popular Chinese messaging app. We previously discovered WeChat smooth display support in November.

Lastly, there a “fix for WiFi crash on certain enterprise APs” and “various stability fixes” to round out the January Pixel 4 update.
