Many features are expected to be upgraded in Google's upcoming Android operating system. The security and privacy features of this operating system will be improved. Also, there is a possibility of improving the user experience. Four important features of Android 16 have been seen in the first developers preview.
You will get these four amazing features
- In Android 16, users will also get the option of audio sharing from compatible devices such as headphones etc. Users will be able to play the audio of any of their devices through their smartphone. However, how this feature will work will be clearly known in the coming time.
- Notification cooldown feature can be provided in the upcoming mobile operating system. This feature will save users from getting disturbed due to notifications. If multiple notifications start arriving on the user's phone at a short interval, the device will automatically turn on notification cooldown mode, due to which the user will not be disturbed.
- In Android 16, users will get the option to reduce the brightness of the display even further. Due to this feature, the brightness of the user's display will be much less than normal.
