Google is quietly refining the Android experience with visual polish and enhanced AI integration ahead of Android 16’s public release.

Google has enabled a new Google Assistant animation on Android Auto, using a thin colored line at the bottom of the screen as visual feedback when the assistant registers the request.

Google recently rolled out Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1, and it includes a new predictive back gesture animation for keyboards.

With Live Activity, incoming food deliveries, sports games, and more can be tracked from the ‌iPhone‌'s Lock Screen or with the Dynamic Island, and Google's feature works in a similar way.
