Google has released a new update for the Pixel Buds A series, bringing the firmware version up to 3.519.0 and breaking the ability to pair with multiple devices.

The impacted listeners recognized that the Pixel Buds A-Series can only connect to one device at a time, despite the fact that it was previously completely capable of pairing with multiple devices.

Following the update, it can only be used by the last device to which it was paired. In other words, if a user links it with device A, device B is no longer able to connect.

If they re-pairing device B, then device A can no longer connect.

Has anyone else experienced failing pairing since the update. Unless I factory reset my buds I can’t get them until pairing mode.
