Google has officially started rolling out the latest set of Android 16 features, marking a major change in how the operating system evolves. Instead of one big annual update, Google is shifting to more frequent releases.

The shift mirrors a broader plan revealed earlier in the year. According to the Android team, this model gives users access to features as soon as they’re ready and offers developers faster tools for innovation.

The latest update arriving now is Android 16 QPR2. It introduces new ways to manage notifications, personalize home screens, and handle family controls. Google says it’s all part of making devices “smarter, more personal and easier to manage.”
