Google Pixel 6 March update reduces the haptic feedback or the vibrations of the notifications of the flagship smartphone.
NEW YORK, NY - OCTOBER 15: The new Google Pixel 4 smartphone and cases are displayed during a Google launch event on October 15, 2019 in New York City. The new Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL phone starts at $799 and will begin shipping on Oct. 24.
Google Pixel 6 March Update
The recent March feature update for the Google Pixel introduces tons of additional upgrades for the flagship smartphone, including functions like auto-transcribing during phone calls and the all-new battery widget, as per a news story by Tech Radar.
However, the massive March update, which brings new features to the smartphone, faced a delay before it reached the latest flagships of Google, the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro.
Tech Radar noted in the same report that the new Tensor system on chip of the latest Google smartphones might have had a major role in the update delay. The in-house chipset for the Pixel phones needed some software tweaks to fully optimize the March update.
But that's all water under the bridge. The March update is now out on the latest flagships of Google.

Google Pixel 6 Update and Haptic Feedback
Although there are some welcome upgrades in the latest update for the Pixel 6 phones, according to a recent report by The Verge, it also comes with a new issue.
It is worth noting that previously the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro also faced some significant software issues, such as a wonky Wi-Fi connection and sluggish fingerprint sensor.
But this time around, the issue lies in the haptic feedback of the smartphone, making it significantly weaker, which decreases the strength of notification vibrations.

Founded in 1995 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google now makes hundreds of products used by billions of people across the globe, from YouTube and Android to Smartbox and Google Search.
The Verge noted in the same story that the notification vibrations decreased than how they used to before the update, noting that it got even weaker when there is an incoming phone call.
What's more, the haptic feedback of the smartphone does change even after attempting to adjust it. So, it appears to be a bug that made it to the March update of Google Pixel.
It turns out that early users of the Android 12.1 beta have already encountered that same problem with haptic feedback, according to some Reddit users.
That said, the issue that some might be experiencing in the latest update for Pixel phones appears to have been here for a while now. In fact, the Reddit thread about it has been there for a month now.
Meanwhile, it is to note that Google has yet to release a fix for it.
