The OH got the same notification at work this morning, bless her she panics at anything that pops up that isn't social media related! Anyway, I'm almost positive she was already on 8.1 as I think I had that conversation with her before, she's on the first gen Pixel. I'm on 2XL and nothing for me yet.

if you're not on the March patch yet, update your play services and check again and it should download

I got the march security update before I even saw any news on it! Which is really strange for me - I'm usually one of the last to get it

I used to worry about the camera glass in the past when the camera was raised but I haven't had an issue with any getting scratched or the rim being dented etc.
Yesterday I really went for trying to use up my battery over the whole day. Still didn't succeed.
The majority of the day was on mobile data with about two hours on WiFi. I managed a SOT of 6hrs 30mins with 20% battery remaining. Pretty good if you ask me!

Did you manage to sort out your backups through Google drive?
Should I go ahead with the March update on my Pixel 2? Heard about battery woes but that could be just a select few.
Had my first random issue since getting at Christmas. The camera was going blank black screen when trying to review images and it wouldn't process the portrait images. Some didn't happen and some looked off. A reboot didn't fix issue but has since gone back to working.
Still impressive kit especially the camera. Slowly liking the video if in controlled environment. Rest just works.

Yes thanks for that. I had no idea they were stored there and I consider myself a android / Google pro
It took me a while to figure it out. Glad it helped though
My battery has been fine personally; I've had the exact same issue with the blank screen when trying to review images, I find it only happens if I open the camera when the phone is locked strangely.
Edit: Is there a way to restore from an earlier backup of your contacts? Gmail has synced my email contacts and I've now got hundreds of random entries, it's messing with my phone OCD
Did you get you build date from that link I posted ?
Was it built this year ?
Yeah I did it was 2017 but blue shift (not that it bothered me) is less on this one .

Yeah useful . I have turned off backup on some of my lesser devices like the Nexus 7 I still use with kids to avoid it happening again. Looks like when you restore you get the last 2 available

Is this not a security feature? to stop someone accessing the gallery via the camera app shortcutMy battery has been fine personally; I've had the exact same issue with the blank screen when trying to review images, I find it only happens if I open the camera when the phone is locked strangely.

Good to know
When you double press the power button to take pictures without unlocking your phone you can only view the pictures just taken. If you try to scroll further I get a picture of a lock and not a blank screen but it maybe something to do with that.
I didn't realise you could turn off individual backups. I just deleted them instead haha!
