Android 16 QPR1 beta 2 starts testing the new animation for the power button long-press gesture we first spotted last month.

Now, in Part 2, you’ll code your first app. The animated mobile app consists of a single activity, which presents Google’s Android robot character and a button for animating the character.

YouTube for mobile users are now gaining a portion of the animated loading screen that was first seen on Android TV in late 2022.

Google is changing the look of Android and Wear OS to be more animated and colorful via an update to Material Design.

Finally owners of the Nexus 5X and 6P can experience Google’s quick but cute home animation on their own device. The setup is pretty simple, too.
