The update roll out is confirmed by Sony India itself on Twitter, however, several users are posting about the update roll out the status on the Sonymobile forums page. The Android Oreo update brings all the new features introduced by Google to both the phones such as the Picture-in-Picture mode, autofill, notification channels and more.
However, users are complaining about the various issues on the forums page. Besides the standard Google features, Sony also added a couple of its own features such as Xperia actions and contextual menus for app shortcuts. It also adds reminders for unfinished tasks such as emails and messages. Firstly, several users are posting about the Wi-Fi SSD issue after the update and secondly, the update is making several third-party apps to crash.
Also, some users are unable to upload/download media from WhatsApp, and some of them are facing issues with Google Play Store as it’s showing as uncertified. Sony needs to address these issues with a new software update, however, the company is yet to accept these issues. If you’re one among them facing such issues, we suggest you to make a factory reset of the phone, which might solve some issues.
