Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3 is available without a detailed changelog, which is typical for these releases. We\u2019ve already started digging into the build to find out what\u2019s new, though, and here\u2019s what we\u2019ve discovered so far.<\/p>\n<p>Note: At the time of this article\u2019s publication, Google has only released the Generic System Images (GSIs) for Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3. The update has not yet begun to roll out for Pixel phones. Once it does, we\u2019ll be able to dive more deeply into the release to see what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n<p>The screen magnifier can now zoom into the keyboard<\/p>\n<p>In Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3, there\u2019s a new \u201c<strong>magnify keyboard<\/strong>\u201d option under <strong>Settings &gt; Accessibility &gt; Magnification<\/strong>.

If you\u2019re currently in the Android 16 QPR1 beta and want to receive the public stable release, now is a good time to unenroll from the program. Staying enrolled will likely result in your device being automatically updated to the next beta track (QPR2) instead of the stable build.<\/p>\n<p>This article will be updated as we find new features.
