Android 16 is here at the end, and it is a few months ago. Updates have come only on pixel devices and it is not very important, but it has formulated the basis for some of the future major changes planned by Google.
Small Twixes on Large Features
This initial update is focusing more on adding small, improvement in quality life than making big changes. For example, there is a new type of notification called live updates – a concept that is similar to information of live activities on iPhones.
Originally, if you have found the background-running food delivery or a cab-hailing app, you will be able to see a progress and monitor the progress in real time. This feature is starting with “Sangat Ride-Share and Food Delivery Apps” Google announcementBut later other apps will expand.
If you want to try about new information, just go to Android 16 Easter eggs. Go to your phone settings, then tap about phoneThen Android versionAnd to open the Easter eggs, repeatedly tap 16. This is the first time Android release because I am using Android where Easter egg is actually something that feels special.
You are also going to see less chaos in your notification stock because Android starts information of force coming from the same app. However, I did not see a change in information in such a way that at present, it was grouped before and after the update. Google has already put a strap on information with mode, so it is good to see that good work is going on, even if it is not necessarily visible at this time.
There are also additional safety measures for your device, club under one Advanced protection to reduce security and privacy Settings. I don’t see anything new here, perhaps except for 2G network security. Even if you will find one Device protection Slider to tolerate.
I saw no change in the status bar for time 9to5google reportedHowever, the lock screen and home screen customization menu has a separate layout with some new features like Colored And the ability to choose different colors from your wallpaper for icons and text.
On supported equipment like Pixel 9, you will get native control for hearing devices, allowing you to adjust the volume and switch the microphone. moreover, Health Connect The app is adding support to show medical records.
If you own one of the new Pixel phones, then, in particular, Pixel 8A or new, is a new Battery health The feature that shows the approximate percentage of changes can catch your battery “compared to a new standard battery”. There is also Battery health aid Togle on my Pixel 7A that I have not seen before, which claims to help manage the long -term health and performance of my battery.
In addition to these changes, I have noticed some very subtle animation changes when jumping between the menu and switching between apps. Haptics also feel so small at any time, but your mileage may be different.
What can you expect from Android 16 in the future?
Android 16 is promising a window experience like a desktop that lets you shape the app window on the desktop OS, coming to Android Tablet in 2025 later. Google and Samsung have worked in partnership on it, and given how well Dex has done well in the last few years, I am excited to see how it is out.
