- The latest March 2024 Pixel Feature Drop rolling out to Google Pixel devices has removed the Battery Information stub.
- Users can no longer access battery stats such as date of manufacture and cycle count, which helped estimate battery health.
- This is likely a bug, as the feature was introduced with Android 14.
The March 2024 Pixel Feature Drop brought several new features to the Pixel ecosystem, including broader availability of Circle to Search, Ultra HDR support for Instagram, and more. But for all the good it added, the update also removed an essential feature for no reason.
Reddit user ntwrkmntr spotted that Google removed the battery cycle count and other battery information stats from the Pixel 8 with the new March 2024 Pixel Feature Drop update. The information existed at Settings > About Phone > Battery Information and can no longer be spotted in that location.
