Development on Android 16 is progressing quickly, and ahead of the projected late spring/early summer arrival Google has just released the very first beta version. Unlike Apple, which splits up public and developer betas, Android 16 beta is available to everyone — provided they have an eligible Pixel device.
Like any major update, there are a lot of changes coming with the Android 16 beta. Google has added new features like Adaptive Apps, Live Updates, updates to the camera and media, extensions for Gemini and plenty more. Here’s everything you need to know about the Android 16 beta so far, including how to enroll and all the ways it’s changing compared to Android 15.
