Yesterday afternoon Google released Android 16 to the public with new features and fixes for your Pixel devices. I was able to immediately download all of the updates to my Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel Tablet and Pixel Watch 3. Although, this is not the new UI update some may have been waiting for it provides much needed bug fixes along with new features as the release includes the June feature drop.
As for the update itself, like I mentioned before there are no real user facing changes but my devices feel much more responsive and smooth. The stability of my devices improved greatly as well. This update ultimately is the set-up to the major redesign that's expected to be released in September and I can't wait. Though not perfect Google seems to be on a roll with their software and it is good to see.
See what's new and coming below.
- Live updates from apps like food delivery will appear in notifications, and notifications from one app will be grouped.
- Android 16 improves hearing aid compatibility, letting you use your phone's mic for clearer calls.
- Advanced Protection gives you stronger security against online attacks, harmful apps, and scam calls.
- Desktop windowing on tablets lets you open multiple app windows, like on a computer, for better productivity.
