The Google Pixel 4 90Hz display refresh rate is one of the best features of the phone (despite the fact that it will drain the small battery). However, there are at least five apps that you won't see in 90Hz on the Pixel 4.
The five apps are essentially blacklisted by the Pixel 4, as discovered by Mishaal Rahman from XDA Developers. Rahman found a string within the AOSP source code labeled config_highRefreshRateBlacklist. So far, the five apps on the list are Google Maps, Pokémon Go, Waze, WeChat, and the default Android file explorer app.
Essentially, if one of these five apps is active, the Google Pixel 4 90Hz display refresh rate will drop down to the normal 60Hz, regardless of what settings you have on your Pixel 4.
Android Police was able to confirm that both Google Maps and Waze render at just 60Hz no matter what you try to do to force 90Hz.
Why is this happening? According to a comment from a developer near the string in question, the apps "do not work well when the display refreshes at 90Hz." Judging from this, Google decided that there would be problems with these apps as they are and, rather than trying to fix the apps, just made it so 90Hz would be blocked.

Three of the five apps in question Google has control over, so it's very possible Maps, Waze, and the file explorer app will get fixed and then removed from this blacklist. Pokémon Go and WeChat, however, Google doesn't control, so they'll need to be changed independently.
This isn't the first time we've seen issues with the Google Pixel 4 90Hz display refresh rate. Earlier, we found out that the Pixel 4 changes the refresh rate of the display depending on brightness settings. However, Google has promised a fix for this is on the way.
