Google Pixel users report lockscreen lag and slow wake issues with Android 16 update

After the Android 16 update, some Google Pixel owners have been reporting issues with slow screen wake-up times and laggy lockscreen behavior. Although the update itself is generally stable, these problems seem to affect certain devices. Some users have mentioned that the display is slow to activate, either when tapping the screen or pressing the power button. In some cases, the lockscreen lags after the display wakes up. The problem is widespread, appearing in multiple threads across Google’s forums and Reddit. While a reboot temporarily fixes the issue for some, others find that it persists. Google has yet to officially acknowledge the issue, but users have reported the problem on both stable and beta versions of Android 16. As of now, a fix is expected soon, though no official timeline has been provided. Users who are experiencing this problem are encouraged to share their experiences, as this will help in getting a timely resolution.
