Decide How to Download Android Pie

It could take a few days for Google's Android Pie OTA to hit your device. If you don't want to wait any longer, you might want to manually install the update right now. 

If you want to install Android Pie ahead of the OTA, this guide will take you step-by-step through the sideload process. 

If you’re not comfortable with those instructions, you should wait for Android Pie to arrive Over-the-Air from Google. When the update is ready to download and install, your phone will prompt you to install it. You can also check in your Settings.

The manual installation process can cause problems if you aren't careful. If you aren't feeling totally confident in your abilities, wait for the OTA.
