Google releases Android 16 for Pixel phones.

Android 16 has been rolled out to Google's Pixel smartphone line. Furthermore, this release adds group chat to RCS, introduces AI-powered editing suggestions to Google Photos, and supports business badges in Google Wallet. The release also focuses on better accessibility and improved customization for messages and contacts.

In addition to Android 16, Google also announced upgrades as part of its regular feature update for eligible Pixel phones, “Pixel Drop.” Android 16 now features iOS-style live notifications on the lock screen for real-time updates and Google’s new Material 3 Expressive design language.

There are new capabilities to protect against theft and fraud, along with an updated enhanced protection mode to maintain the security and privacy of public figures.

Android 16 also adds support for Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) audio devices so you can use them instead of your phone's microphone for better call quality. You can also control the volume on your device from your phone using the new native controls.

Google says that by the end of this year, Android 16 on Android tablets will have desktop-style window support. The company also plans to introduce custom shortcuts to allow you to define app search actions through your own hotkey combinations.

For Android 16 and other supported Android releases, Google is rolling out an update to Google Messages that adds support for RCS group chats. You'll be able to choose custom icons and turn off notifications for specific chats for a certain period of time.

Android 16 also brings HDR screenshots, adaptive refresh rates, and a mandatory notification grouping feature to reduce clutter in the notification pane. Google Photos has a host of new features and other supported releases. Coming soon, the app will be able to suggest editing tools like erase, move, or "recreate" parts of an image.

Other Android enhancements include the ability to mark favorite devices in the Google Home app and support for paying for public transport with Google Wallet on Wear OS devices, so you don't need to take your phone out.

Along with the new Android 16 update, Google is rolling out its latest monthly Pixel feature update. The new "Pixel VIPs" widget lets you see your interactions with favorites in your contact list. It displays your most recent calls and messages with that person, including any calls and messages you received from WhatsApp, as well as updates like birth dates and location if the contact chooses to share them.

Pixel phones also offer more detailed subtitles for video content, including live streams. For example, you'll see subtitles describing whether someone is whispering, yawning, or clearing their throat.

Elsewhere, you can create custom stickers using text prompts directly from Google's Gboard keyboard. Google is adding support for AI-powered summaries in French and German to the Recorder app. And users in Australia will get Android's Emergency SOS satellite connectivity feature.

Google is adding a battery status indicator for Pixel 8a users and newer Pixel devices (but not Pixel 8 and 8 Pro), and Pixel 5 and later devices will get a new accessibility feature through the Magnifier app. You can use Magnifier to describe what you're looking for, and the app will then highlight the item if there's a match and give you haptic feedback.

Enterprise Android users are also receiving updates, including the ability to store their company badges in Google Wallet. Furthermore, they can use Google's Gemini chatbot within the Google Docs app on Android to summarize content, get insights, and translate text. Finally, Google is improving Chrome's PDF handling capabilities on Android by viewing linked documents.
