Live Updates is one of the highlight features of Android 16, but it was absent from the first stable Android 16 release. You can see a gray, circular button located after the divider separating pinned and recent apps. To address this, Google added the taskbar overflow button with the release of Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2. When long-pressing an app icon in the app drawer, you’ll see a “pin to taskbar” shortcut in the context menu, while you’ll see an “unpin from taskbar” shortcut when long-pressing an app icon on the taskbar.

• To address this, Google added the taskbar overflow button with the release of Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2.
• A close look at an official screenshot (seen above) shows a menu displaying Play Protect status, bootloader status, and build number info.
• With Android 17 Beta 3, the Wi-Fi toggle is also back to being a one-click toggle.

{In some cases it may not be possible to deny certain permissions to pre-installed apps, nor be possible to disable them. An opt-in system is used instead, in which users are prompted to grant or deny individual permissions to an app when they are needed for the first time. After reviewing these permissions, the user could choose to accept or refuse them, installing the application only if they accepted. In former Android versions, before installing an application, the Google Play store displayed a list of the requirements an app needs to function. Originally only doing so during installation, Verify Apps received an update in 2014 to “constantly” scan apps, and in 2017 the feature was made visible to users through a menu in Settings. Android applications run in a sandbox, an isolated area of the system that does not have access to the rest of the system’s resources, unless access permissions are explicitly granted by the user when the application is installed, however this may not be possible for pre-installed apps.}
