Google’s March Pixel Drop: New Features, Updates, and More

Google has launched a new update for Pixel phones in March 2025. This update brings several useful features to make your phone work better and more safely. One big change is the new Scam Detection tool that helps you find scam calls and messages. This feature works directly on your phone, so no one can listen to your calls or read your messages. If a scammer calls you pretending to be from your bank and asking for money, your phone will warn you with an alert saying it could be a scam. The scam alert for calls is turned off by default, but you can turn it on in your phone's settings. The scam alert for messages is turned on by default, but you can turn it off if you want.

Another new feature lets you share your live location with friends and family through the Find My Device app. This will help you know where your loved ones are or help them find you. If you like making videos, you’ll be happy to know that this update allows you to use other cameras, like a GoPro or another Pixel phone, to live stream from your Pixel 9. This will help you create better live videos with different camera views.

Google is also adding satellite messaging for Pixel phones. This means you can send messages to emergency services or your contacts even when you don't have phone service or Wi-Fi. Right now, this feature is only available for T-Mobile and Verizon customers in the US. If you enjoy creating pictures, the Pixel Studio app has a new tool. You can describe a person or scene, and the app will turn your words into an image in different styles like cartoons or video games.

The update also helps you keep your screenshots organized. Your Pixel phone will suggest adding screenshots to your collection, making it easier to find them later. For Pixel Watch users, there’s a new health feature that can detect if your heart stops. If this happens, the watch will automatically call emergency services for you. This could be useful in cases like heart attacks or breathing problems. The update also helps track steps more accurately, adds menstrual health tracking, and has a bedtime mode for the Pixel Watch 2. There are also improvements to make your phone work better.

To get this update, you’ll get a message on your Pixel phone when it's ready. Follow the steps to install it. If you don’t see it yet, go to your phone’s settings, click "System," and then select "Software Updates." The update will be sent out in waves, so if you don’t get it right away, don't worry. This update will make your Pixel phone safer, more fun to use, and better at keeping track of your health.
