Unexpected Glitch Hits Pixel 10 Phones, Causing Random App Crashes

A growing number of Google Pixel 10 users are reporting a mysterious bug that causes apps to crash unexpectedly — with no clear pattern or reason behind the failures.

According to user posts on Reddit over the past two days, the issue appears to affect a wide range of apps randomly. A report by 9to5Google, cited by Al Arabiya Business, suggests that the root cause may be linked to Google Play Services.

Affected users have noticed that uninstalling recent updates to Google Play Services while running the October update for Pixel 10 devices temporarily resolves the issue — until the latest version of Play Services automatically reinstalls.

However, this workaround comes with major drawbacks: removing updates or clearing Play Services data logs users out of their Google accounts, which can be problematic for those who rely on Google Password Manager or two-factor authentication.

Google has not yet publicly acknowledged the issue, but internal sources suggest the company has flagged it as a high-priority problem, with multiple teams currently working to deliver a fix.
