The US rollout for the Loss-of-Pulse detection feature on the Google Pixel 3 starts today.

Don't worry if it hasn't happened just yet -- the roll-out is estimated to last a few weeks. Google announced the Loss of Pulse Detection feature in 2024 for select EU countries and received FDA clearance in the US in February.
