Google's former flagship Nexus phone has just received its Android version 7.1.1 update earlier this yet but it was met with software bugs and even broke Android Pay for some. Nexus 6 users are currently receiving an over-the-air downgrade back to Android 7.0. A Google community manager has responded on Reddit to explain what is happening: There was a recent OTA update for Android 7.0 that is causing confusion for some Nexus 6 users. For any Nexus 6 users that want to continue flashing/sideloading future builds, you can stay on 7.1.1 and continue to do so. Seems like the Nexus 6 and its users are up for a bumpy software adventure. Nexus 6 was left behind of its supported siblings with the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat update while the affordable Android One device received it ahead of the bunch. According to the message sent by Google to Android Police, the company encountered a bug for the Nexus 6 update thus the delay of the rollout. The Nexus 6 did receive Nougat but the 7.1.1 update is significant since it'll bring additional features similar to the recent Pixel smartphones.
