The next beta is expected to bring various useful features and fixes to some annoying bugs. While Beta 1 was a decent update, it wasn’t a major release for common users. Yet, it was a significant build for the app developers.
Android 16 Beta 1 fixed certain issues and introduced support for 3-button navigation, adaptive layouts, health-based permissions, camera night mode scenario detection, ambient volume controls for hearing aid users, advanced video codec, and more.
However, some Pixel users also dealt with nasty issues after installing the Android 16 beta 1 update. The company is expected to resolve all the bugs found in the previous version with the Beta 2 iteration.
