    Hasn’t Android had a thing for a while where it gives update priority to people who manually check for updates? Like, my phone (7a) didn’t say an update was available, but then I clicked the “Check for update” button, and now it said Android 14 is available.

    So I don’t think anyone who really wants the update soon needs to sideload the OTA, just check for an update and you’ll probably get it.

        I’ve just checked now (Pixel 7a, Catalonia) and it’s upgrading to 14

      I always do that. I think I only waited once, it notified me like 4 days later. But when I go into the settings and manually search for the update, it always gives me the update as soon as it’s announced.
