Pixel phones and Mobile Wifi Boost

When will Pixel phones get Mobile Wifi Boost. It seems crazy Xfinity sells those phones and simlutaenously advertises the Mobile Wifi Boost but the two are currently incompatible! That's horribly misleading!

Hello, and thanks for reaching out here on the forums, user_iv2dz9! I apologize that Google Pixel phones are not yet compatible with the WiFi PowerBoost feature. As stated on the WiFi PowerBoost page, the only devices that are currently eligible are the iPhone 12 or newer, and select Samsung smartphones. We don't currently have an estimated date as to when Google Pixel phones will become eligible, but I'm sure we'll make it known once it has, and the Xfinity Mobile WiFi PowerBoost FAQs page will be updated with more information!

Interestingly, the Xfinity app says the Pixel is powerboosted. Huh?

@user_iv2dz9​ Admittedly, it doesn't seem to be getting boosted according to ookla.

user_iv2dz9 You probably won't get an error with the App in boosting the device. Do you have another device that would be compatible to check?
