While Android TV OS updates usually don’t bring much to the Google TV experience, this latest update does deliver a splash of Material 3 Expressive design elements, mostly in the Settings menu.

Among the many updates in Android 16 QPR1’s big redesign is a new look for notifications which includes more prominent shortcuts for settings, history, and also an updated lock screen layout too.

Google I/O meant a lot of changes for the Google Play Store and developers, though two small changes will mean users see more relevant information in apps and media with “Topics” and a Collections expansion.

At the basis of all Android 16 QPR1 design shifts, the Settings app carries the most colorful change. The new app gets new icon colors throughout, adding a little bit of life to the options haven.

Android 16 QPR1 has launched, and the new redesign changes what the Recents menu looks like on all devices, with a new layout for larger displays and drop-down options.

Google just announced a new AI mode for shopping with two big new features. The AI Mode will give users the option to try clothes on virtually, and if it’s a fit, the AI model will buy them for you.

Android 16 QPR1 launched during Google I/O 2025, and it brings some massive changes with Material 3 Expressive. The new design language completely redesigns Android 16’s lock screen customization options.

Google is finally delivering an update to the At a Glance widget on Pixel devices in Android 16 QPR1, making the widget smaller, but still not allowing it to be disabled completely.

At I/O 2025, Google provided a more thorough look at how you’ll use Android XR glasses in day-to-day life as work continues.

The big Material 3 Expressive redesign we’ve waiting for is here with Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 for Pixel today

With Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1, Google is redesigning Quick Settings on Pixel with resizable tiles and a background blur.

Google is teasing new features for AI Mode, including the ability for it to act as an agent of the web on your behalf, completing research in the background to save you time, and it looks pretty handy.

Google’s barrier-breaking Project Starline is stepping aside to make way for Google’s next phase – Google Beam. The new 3D communication platform is one step closer to becoming a real product, and will incorporate all of the tech Starline offered in addition to real-time translations using natural AI-generated language.

While the stable build of Android 16 is not yet available, the major QPR1 update is already available in beta, bringing the big Material 3 Expressive redesign along with it. Here’s how to install Android 16 QPR1 Beta on Google Pixel.

Besides Meet Speech Translation, Google announced a slew of new Workspace features at I/O 2025 across Gmail (like personalized smart replies), Docs, and Vids.

Google has entered the world of video editing packages with the launch of “Flow,” an AI editing suite launched at IO.

At I/O 2025, Google announced that Meet is getting real-time Speech Translation capability that’s like having an actual human interpreter in the call. 

Google is bringing its new AI Mode in Search to all users in the United States, and bringing a ton of new features, including camera access, a custom version of Gemini under the hood, Gmail integration, and more.

As previewed in December, Project Mariner is Google DeepMind’s research prototype exploring the “future of human-agent interaction, starting with browsers.” Google AI Ultra subscribers now have access to Project Mariner, while the browser agent capabilities are coming to the Gemini app and Search.

Google is bringing Gemini and Gemini Live to Chrome for Mac and Windows. The initial launch lets you ask questions about a page, while future versions will be able to navigate the web and take other actions on your behalf.
