Google has gone on record, posting on its Google Search Status Dashboard, with deploying its March 2025 core algorithm update officially. The update began rolling out on March 13, 2025, at 9:23 AM PDT and is expected to be finished within a period of around two weeks or less on all of Google’s search infrastructure12.
This fundamental refresh aims to provide more relevant and satisfying content to searchers from all types of sites, not only web pages. Google also declared that they still strive to serve up more content from authors through a number of enhancements during the course of the year, with some already out and others forthcoming1.
The March 2025 core update is a global update impacting all places and languages. It impacts all types of content and is not seen as a penalty but as rewarding or promoting good-quality web pages. The update will have the usual impact on core systems with potential impacts on Google Discover, feature snippets, and other features1.
Webmasters and SEO experts can anticipate fluctuation in search rankings and visibility over the next few weeks as the update is rolled out gradually. The changes may stabilize once the update is fully implemented, however, long-term shifts in positioning can occur based on the new algorithm’s evaluation of content quality and relevance2.
Just as in previous core updates, Google has not released extensive details concerning changes to ranking algorithms. It tends to advise the creation of good quality content rather than focusing on the prevention of individual issues when rankings plummet after an update. Website proprietors and search engine optimizers are encouraged to have their analytics on watch in the interim so as to monitor any considerable shifts in traffic and rankings2.
Similarly, Samsung has begun deploying the March 2025 security patch to its Galaxy S25 series phones. The second security update for the phones since they launched, it initially started in South Korea and is now rolling out slowly to other regions of the globe, including the US, Europe, and India3.
The Galaxy S25 series’ March 2025 security patch updates resolves up to 58 vulnerabilities that can potentially be exploited by attackers. Seven security vulnerabilities of Galaxy devices were addressed by Samsung, and the rest are patches by Google to Android’s base. The patch is around 580 MB in size and is being rolled out in phases34.
The Galaxy S25 users have been enjoying the One UI 7 on their own for weeks now, and they remain the sole Galaxy S flagships to run on a stable version of the update. The March 2025 security update for the Galaxy S25 series comprises only the security patch and no new feature3.
Samsung is also preparing for the April 2025 security update, as One UI 7 beta 3 has it already for Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6. Follow-up beta updates are to be performed for S23 and S24 series, with a bulk distribution of the stable One UI 7 update scheduled to begin on April 7, 2025, among multiple Galaxy smartphone models4.
