Google's latest software update for its Pixel 2 XL phones is Actress Giving Permission to Director During Auditioninnocuous on the surface, but it should alleviate some of the recently reported issues with the device's OLED screen.
A large number of Pixel 2 XL owners say they're experiencing significant "burn-in" issues -- which leaves visible image residue on the screen after an image is shown for too long -- as well as discoloration issues on their Pixel 2 XL phones.

Google is also adding three new color modes -- boosted, natural and saturated. The last one should ideally make the screen's color issues less noticeable; if nothing else, it should make the Pixel 2 XL's screen a bit more similar to Samsung's colorful OLED screens.
These obviously won't change the screens' physical characteristics, but as Google points out, burn-in affects all OLED screens to some degree, and if it can be fixed, at least in part, with a software issues, that's better than nothing.
According to Google, there will be more software enhancements to make the Pixel screen better in a planned December update, and "on an ongoing basis thereafter."
This same update should also fix the odd clicking noises some folks have noticed on their Pixel 2 phones, along with the regular bug fixes and security updates.
