Android 16 will adopt a completely new design. — Google
Google unveiled the main new features of Android 16 at its "The Android Show: I/O Edition” event, ahead of its annual Google I/O conference, scheduled for May 20 and 21, 2025. This enhanced version of Android introduces significant design changes, places artificial intelligence at the heart of the system, and is much more secure.
Android 16 will first bring a new design, dubbed "Material 3 Expressive." This is the most visible evolution to the system, with its vivid colors, new typography and fluid animations, promising a more dynamic and personalized user experience. The idea, of course, is to appeal to an ever-growing audience, especially young people. The system also introduces "Live Updates,” a dynamic notification system reminiscent of "Live Activities” on iOS. These notifications enable users to track activities such as journeys or deliveries in real time, directly from the smartphone's lock screen.
