- Direct updates introduce a new method for Android to allow apps to communicate the ongoing process.
- With the release of today’s Android 16, we begin to see support for apps containing Progress Centric Information.
- Full direct updates support, where these information actually handles the system differently, will not reach the end of this year.
Google has just released Android 16 stable, and when there is a lot of running, there is also a suitable amount we are not yet getting. Google’s system and app level providing plenty of features, but much has been announced that it is still underway. For example, we can now test the new desktop’s new experience in the beta, but it will not come to a large -scale Android 16 users until the future updates. And you probably have already heard a lot about the expression of content 3, and when we have seen very early preview, it is not really hitting Android 16 with full force unless QPR1 Lands.
Although they are large, we are also aware of many other Android 16 changes that Google is talking about, but unless you are particularly paying close attention to all the developer -based minato, this can make it easy to find out what function we can expect, and when. And when we talk about the support of Android 16 directly for updates, we want to set the same record.
Google announces direct works when introducing its first Android 16 beta, and described them as such:
Direct updates are a new class of notifications that help monitor consumers and monitor rapidly important activities.
Smartphone fans were quick to compare Apple’s direct activities introduced in iOS 16, which aims to meet the same thing. About common examples we are often navigation apps that show your progress towards your destination, or the food delivery app, which shows how close your food is.
An example of AOD (left), lock screen (left middle), status bar (right middle), and heads -up notification (right) an example of updates directly from the Uber Eat app.
Although Google is clear that direct updates are coming up with Android 16, the company’s language choice in today’s announcement only sets the right out that this rollout is not complete.
These direct information are starting with shares and food delivery apps for sync rides.
“Starting” is part of paying attention there, because the experience you will have with these apps first and their new notifications are not exactly the same shape that will ultimately refresh. This initial form really just indicates that Google is called “development -based user travel.” Reports that will indicate how far we are, with a milestone.
For those apps that impose them, you will be able to see these progress bar reports in Android 16. But for this moment, at least, they are just going to act like another Android notification.
However, by the end of this year, the direct update is not coming full. In the aforementioned gallery, you can see the maximum characteristic evolution of which we have always been a full -shaped object for your display, or the compact chip wow that floats permanently on the upper edge of your screen. Such changes are the same as the direct updates that we really do besides anything like the information we have, and while the bars of development are an important first step, we are excited to see how the full package ends.
When can you expect? As we said, we are expecting it shortly after 2025, but so far Google has not offered a firm ETA when it can happen. QPR1 and QPR 2 have clear goals, but it is still too early to say that direct refreshments can have a full effect.
