Android 16 is a solid update by default, but changing one setting makes it even better. Here's where to find it.

First, Android on larger screens will look a little more like Windows later this year. In addition to the existing single-app and split-screen modes present on Android now, Google says you will soon be able to open, move, and resize multiple app windows in a single screen, just like a desktop.

Alongside the Android 16 update, Google is announcing a new Pixel Drop. Like Android 16, there isn't a ton here. Google says Expressive Captions are coming to the UK, Australia, and Canada, which is nice but should not require a system update. There's also better support for hearing aids and live search in the magnifier app.

Android 16 introduces the most comprehensive set of safety features and promises to take the tablet experience into the realm of meaningful computing.

Google's cleaning up its Wallpaper & style app with a new Wallpaper Studio section in Android 16 APR1's latest beta.
