  • Google recently pushed out its March update for Pixel devices running on Android 15.
  • Pixel owners are noticing that the haptics feel stronger after the update.
  • Users are complaining that the haptics are now too strong for their liking.

Yesterday, Google announced it was starting the rollout of March’s software update for supported Pixel devices. The update includes a number of bug fixes and improvements like better camera stability, a fix for call volume on Bluetooth headsets, and so on. It also appears the update may have inadvertently increased the strength of haptics and some users are not a fan of the change.

There are multiple reports on Reddit questioning whether the March update has changed the vibration on Pixel phones. These users claim that the haptics feel stronger than before and not necessarily for the better. While there are some differing opinions, the general sentiment seems to be negative.
