Google has just started rolling out the March 2024 Pixel Feature Drop, which includes the March 2024 Android security patch. These patches are critical to ensuring your device remains the most secure, and we generally recommend updating to the latest available security patches.
The March 2024 Pixel Feature Drop includes security patch level 2024-03-05, which includes all security patches before that date. The Android-wide March 1 security bulletin contains solutions to 13 issues, while the March 5 patch contains solutions to 25 issues. Google is also running a special security advisory for Pixel devices, which details a number of additional security fixes. There are a number of critical fixes, but Google has yet to share more details about the vulnerabilities.
These are the devices that are being acquired AP1A.240305.019.A1 Updates, including 2024-03-05 security patch level:
- Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro
- Pixel folding
- pixel tablet

In addition, Pixel Watch also received TWD9.240205.001.A3 Software updates, including security patches for Pixel Watch users. The Pixel Watch March 2024 security bulletin is surprisingly empty and lacks details about any vulnerabilities addressed by the update.
Non-Pixel users will also get the March 2024 Android security patch, depending on the OEM’s phone update policy. Manufacturers like Samsung will be rolling out security patches to their portfolio soon, so stay tuned for updates for your supported phones.
