Apple is expected to launch its first foldable phone, the iPhone Fold, in 2026. When it arrives, even Android users could have a reason to celebrate.

Google is changing how developers get access to new APIs and features of the latest version.

Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 is rolling out now, focusing on stability, battery behavior, and fixes for long-standing Pixel bugs.

Google warns that over 40% of Android devices no longer receive security updates, leaving more than 1 billion devices exposed to malware and spyware attacks.

Last November, Google announced a cross-platform feature that allows Google Pixel 10 and Apple device users to share files directly via Quick Share-AirDrop interoperability. Now, Google has confirmed that the feature is set to expand to Android phones more generally this year.

Discovered as a mention in the update's code, it seems this new option will allow users to change their personal icon in the Google Maps app on Android Auto. At the moment, in Android Auto, you aren't able to directly change this setting, and have to unlock your phone and do it from there instead.

Android 17 Beta 1 was postponed, but support details are out. Here's which Pixel devices qualify and what Google's updated rollout strategy means next.
