This month, Pixel’s camera features will work underwater as well as on land. With the Kraken Sports’ universal housing for smartphones to protect the phone from the water, divers can capture underwater images with the Pixel’s Night Sight, Portrait Mode, Motion Photos and video.
The March update will bring Smart Compose to texts.

The March update also includes the ability to share links from your audio recordings from the Pixel’s Recorder app with non-Pixel users. Smart Compose also comes to SMS messages to respond faster to messages. If you also have a Pixel stand, new updates in the clock program can help you set up a healthier sleep routine. Users will also receive new phone paper to celebrate events throughout the year, such as International Women’s Day.
As it was announced on Monday, the update may not appear on your device right away. If you own the Pixel 3, Pixel 3A, Pixel 4, Pixel 4A or Pixel 5, the update should be on its way, but arrival may depend on your mobile service provider.
