Google is nearing the completion of Android 16 development, with Beta 3 launching on March 14. This beta builds on previous versions, focusing on performance, privacy, and user experience enhancements. Users can expect more stability by June, with a final release anticipated in late summer. Updates will be available for Pixel 6 and newer devices, including the Pixel Fold and Tablet. Noteworthy features include improved app permissions and battery management tools, driving towards platform stability for developers to test ahead of the full launch.
This release marks the halfway point in the beta cycle, with platform stability just around the corner and a stable build expected later this year.
Some notable highlights from earlier betas include granular app permissions for location and background activity, better battery stats and management tools, and tweaks to lockscreen behavior.
