There are some feature improvements or additions to features. See video.

@Smokeaire01...thank you for the video link....I will check these out. Much appreciated!

Just downloaded and installed. It's not the most feature packed feature update, but it's better than just a plain old security patch.

This may have nothing to do with the March update but I'm noticing that in the Feed/Discover stories that I cannot dismiss cards any more by tapping on the lower right three dot button. I would need to mark a card "Not interested in this story" which I generally don't want to do as I assume that would limit my seeing similar stories in the future.

I still have the Hide This Story option.

Interesting. Here's what I'm seeing (for all of my cards)...

That's strange, I still have the Hide This Story option above "Not Interested..."

Well...the “feature” that I received from the March update was that I lost the ability to charge my pixel 4 using my pixel stand. Wonderful!

Sorry to hear that. What happens when you place it on the stand? What have you done so far to try and resolve the issue?

Well I have cleared out the storage and cache in the pixel stand restarted the pixel and powered down/up the stand. No joy.

I posted this issue in the google pixel support community a week ago no replies.

When I place the pixel on the stand and it does the starburst and then nothing. I check on it in the morning it never charged.

Any access to a third party charger stand? This might help to find out if the problem is the phone or the charger. I have the update and my Anker still charges my XL.

My phone received a Pixel Stand update today. Maybe this update will fix the charging issue?!

I had the same hope. Sadly nope. I’m now hoping that April does not fool me!
