Pixel's built-in troubleshooting helper behind guided fixes in Settings under Device health & support. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.

What it does

Pixel Troubleshooting is a Pixel system app that runs guided fixes and diagnostics for common problems such as battery drain, charging or connection issues. Google surfaces these tools inside Settings under Device health & support on Pixel 6 and later rather than as a separate app. It runs only when you start a check or open the support pages.

If you disable it

Guided troubleshooting and some diagnostics in Device health & support stop working; the rest of Settings is unaffected.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

Disable it (reversible)

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.pixel.support

Turn it back on

adb shell pm enable com.google.android.apps.pixel.support

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

Uninstall for the main user

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.pixel.support

Restore after an uninstall

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.google.android.apps.pixel.support

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.

Data and battery

Reads device health data such as battery and charging status to suggest fixes, and shares details only when you contact support.
