- Google has released Android 16 Beta 1 for Pixel devices, allowing users to try the upcoming Android platform release by signing up for the Android Beta program.
- One of the most significant announced changes for Android 16 Beta 1 is Live Updates, which is Google’s version of iOS’ Live Notifications.

All eyes are on Samsung as it has just launched the Galaxy S25 series, but Google wants some of that attention, too. Google had already mentioned that Android 16 would start with its beta releases sometime in January 2025, and here we are with Android 16 Beta 1, which is now rolling out to supported Google Pixel smartphones.
