The Nexus 6 had already received an update to Android 7.1.1 Nougat, but Google has now decided to downgrade the smartphone back to Android 7.0 Nougat. This choice was likely due to bugs, but the downgrade OTA is causing even more problems. Nexus 6 users just can't catch a break.

Nexus 6 is being downgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat from 7.1.1
The update to 7.1.1 brought bugs, but those were fixed in the March security update. The March security update, however, then broke Android Pay. And now, users with 7.1.1 are reporting that they are receiving OTA updates to... Android 7.0.
It should come as no surprise, this unusual downgrade has some problems. Once the 7.0 OTA is downloaded, users are reporting that apps are continuously crashing after the update. A Nexus Community Manager posted on Reddit that a factory reset should solve any issues. The Community Manager also clarified that users will need to "get back on the 7.0 supported track" to guarantee future OTA updates. But, users who want to flash or sideload future builds are welcome to stay on 7.1.1.
Nexus 6 won't be getting any more Android version updates
The Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 were guaranteed to receive new Android version updates until October 2016, and the clock has run out. The Android 7.1.1 Nougat update was the last big update for Nexus 6, and it won't be getting the new 7.1.2 beta like its Pixel brothers. Google has been making an effort to keep the Nexus 6 updated, but older hardware has become less of a priority since the launch of Google's self-branded, top-down Pixel line. The good news is that the Nexus 9 and 6 devices will continue receiving security patches for about a year.
Nexus 6 Android 7.1.1 Nougat update
The Android 7.1.1 Nougat update is available for all Nexus 6 owners as both a factory image and OTA update.
Nougat brought some added new features to the Nexus 6, including app shortcuts, night mode, GIF support for Google Keyboard and other performance improvements. Unfortunately, features such as the Pixel Launcher and Google Assistant are not part of the update as these are exclusive to the Google Pixel.
