Version 14 is installed on my Pixel 7 in the USA. I bought this phone outright, no credit, directly from the Google store.
Not on my phone though. Pixel 4a, bought outright from Google but in Canada, no credit.
Did you hit the three dots on the top right and select "show system"? It only shows after that.
I didn't, but this is what shows after I did. Still not there.
I get this from the Google Play store:
So, cool?
I bought mine from Google Fi w/ cash and have never used it on a major carrier. I'm guessing it's a carrier thing, and not a stock Android thing.
No, it may not appear in the appstore (doesn't for me), but does appear in my apps (when you show system apps)
Mine doesn't appear in either for me, and I did show system apps. It must be a recent Android thing because my phone is almost 5 years old.
