"Well, this is highly irregular. For the first time in many moons now, Google's giving us not one but two new full-fledged Android versions in a single year. Android 16 officially arrived into the world this summer, and it'll soon be followed by another release this fall. Keeping up with what's new and noteworthy isn't easy at a pace like this - and that's to say nothing about the ever-streaming updates to core system apps like Gemini, the Google Phone app, and other Android-associated elements."
"It may be mildly dizzying at times, but it sure is exciting - and an awesome indication that things are endlessly evolving in this arena, with something fresh 'n' shiny always on its way to your device or at least off on the horizon. Here, specifically, are 14 such shimmering treasures to surface as soon as you see Android 16 show up on your phone - or to look for now, even if the software's already been there and waiting for a while."
Android 16 and an upcoming fall release mark two major Android versions within a single year, accelerating feature rollouts and app updates. Core system apps such as Gemini and the Google Phone app receive ongoing enhancements independent of OS releases. The update includes a subtly enhanced expandable Quick Settings interface for on-demand shortcuts accessed by swiping down from the screen. Fourteen lesser-known features and productivity tips are highlighted specifically for Google-made Pixel and Samsung-made Galaxy phones. Device-maker customizations mean feature availability and presentation may differ across other manufacturers and rollout timing can vary.
