After the March 2025 update, Google Pixel devices are reportedly experiencing a change in their vibration feedback for notifications and calls, with users on Reddit describing the new vibrations as a 'hollow feeling' lacking the usual intensity. This issue echoes prior complaints from 2022 when notification vibrations were similarly diminished on Pixel 6 phones. Observations of these changes have been made on Pixel 7 and 8 Pro models, but not on the upcoming Pixel 9 series. Users have mixed experiences, with some noting stronger vibrations in specific situations, indicating a potential inconsistency in the haptic performance across devices.
