Google has released the second beta of Android 16, offering developers enhanced features and useful updates. While this update is not the largest, it includes several interesting changes such as unlocking the phone with the screen off, Bluetooth interface updates, and a new shortcut for handwriting input in Google Keep. The stable version of Android 16 is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2025, with a faster release schedule to allow manufacturers more time to adapt the new system for their devices.
