Google Pixel Update Brings a Hollow Feeling: Users Report Altered Vibrations

Following the March 2025 update for Google Pixel devices, a significant number of users have reported changes in vibrations and haptic feedback. While some noticed stronger vibrations, others described them as feeling 'hollow.' The issue appears to be most prevalent on Pixel 7 and 7 Pro models, with some Pixel 8 owners also reporting changes. Despite the variety of user experiences, Google did not mention any alterations to vibration settings in their official changelog. This suggests that the change might be a bug. Given that this update is part of the final major update for Android 15, Google will continue to release monthly patches, providing opportunities to address the issue.
