Google has announced that it has started rolling out this month’s Android security update to Nexus devices. The update includes fixes to five critical issues, four high-priority issues, and a moderate bug.

The Nexus 6P, 5X, 6, 5 and 7 (2013) are all getting Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow-based MMB29Q build. The February patch is also rolling out to the Pixel C, Nexus 9, and Nexus Player, with build numbers MXB48T, MMB29R and MMB29U, respectively.
