Android 16

Post by Zema Bus »

I got Android 16 on both phones last night (Pixel 6 and 9), at first I thought it was just going to be regular monthly security updates but on reboot there were
changes and new features. The status icons look very different. The battery status percentage is a lot harder to read than it was before. It doesn't look bad in this screenshot because it's blown up but in actual use it's a struggle to make out the numeric percentage, whereas before I had no trouble reading it. I've heard that most of Google's developers are under 40 so that may be why. So I added a battery percentage widget, one of the included ones. It was initially too big, I didn't need it taking up a third of the screen, so I resized it down using the control buttons at each corner when adding a widget.
