Android 16 is rolling out with a bag full of tricks, starting with the Pixel devices.
This update is a game-changer, moving from annual updates to a more frequent sprinkle of new features.

And if you’re tired of endless pings, the new “Notification organiser” will hush those pesky promotions and alerts.
But wait, there’s more! Android 16 lets you jazz up your device with custom icon shapes and themes. Even apps without a dark mode can now be magically dimmed—talk about a makeover! Parents, rejoice! New parental controls mean you can set screen time limits and control app usage with ease.

Chrome tabs now pin like a charm, just like on your desktop, and Circle to Search gets a boost with scam-detecting AI. For accessibility, the Pixel camera’s “Guided Frame” feature now offers detailed scene descriptions, and Voice Access is hands-free with a simple “Hey Google.”
