The public beta release of Android 16 features dynamic lockscreen notifications, termed Live Updates, focused on ride-sharing, food delivery, and navigation. This innovative approach mirrors Apple’s Live Activities and Samsung’s Now Bar but is more restricted in functionality. Additionally, the update includes an important change: developers can no longer lock the size and orientation of their app windows. This adjustment aims to ensure that applications run smoothly on devices of varying sizes, particularly tablets and foldables, while still allowing game developers to opt out of this requirement if needed.
Android 16 introduces dynamic lockscreen notifications but currently supports only ride-sharing, food delivery, and navigation apps, innovating beyond current functionalities.
The new public beta aims to ensure a seamless user experience across display sizes by restricting app size and orientation locking, enhancing usability on tablets.
