The April 2023 update includes autofocus improvements while using macro mode on Pixel 7 series devices, a fix for an issue that occasionally caused connected Bluetooth devices or accessories to silently unpair, and a fix for an issue that occasionally caused instability while using certain USB devices or accessories on Pixel 6 series and Pixel 7 series devices. It also fixes numerous security bugs.
