Google screwed up Pixel vibrations again

Google’s Pixel devices are having a weird change with their notification and call vibrations after the March 2025 update. Multiple people have posted on the Google Pixel subreddit complaining about the change, with one user describing it as a “hollow feeling” vibration with “less thunk” post-update.

Verge staffers have also noticed the change on Google Pixel 8 Pro devices. Whether it’s a bug or an intentional change is unknown, but it does not sound good. The change has also been seen on Pixel 7 and 7 Pro devices, but not on the Pixel 9 series, reports 9to5Google.

I just updated my own Pixel 8 Pro, and personally, the vibrations for a text message seem more intense when I place the device on a table. However, my experience with the haptics while typing is that it feels weaker, and selecting text feels like flicking a rubber band.

We don’t know if the latest change happened as part of the latest Android update or was part of a Feature Drop. We have reached out to Google about the issue and will update this article when we hear back.
