Hmm. Interesting. I just got a Plex update through the Play Store, and it reports the same version as before (7.31.0.16802 (00d577ff)). The “Pixel 4 XL” name stuck again.

Interesting. I just updated the app from the Google Play store, and it’s still on 8.0.1.17411 (b45bfa94). But it retained the “Pixel 4 XL” name. I wonder if app updates/reinstalls when the version remains the same is a common factor of retaining the user-assigned name.
