- Android 16 is bringing an update of screen unlock
- The pixels can unlock while the screen is off
- Android 16 must be launched before the end of June
Android 16 is scheduled to be implemented in the second quarter of the year (so April, May or June), already measure the tests, we are seeing more characteristics added to the mobile operating system, including a practical update to the screen injection process.
As seen by Android Authority, the third beta version of Android 16 includes a feature called unlocking of screen fingerprints. As you can guess by name, it means that you do not have to wake up the screen to use the digital footprint unlock function.
If you think about how many times your phone unlocks during the course of the day, anything that makes this process faster and more convenient could save you a serious time, so it is an update welcome.
An anterior Android 16 Beta added the function for the last Google Pixel 9 series, but this last update also makes it available for older pixels. If you have the beta version installed, you can find the option in SAFETY AND PRIVACY> Device unlock> face unlocking and digital footprint> Digital footprints unlock In configuration.

The first view of the Android 16 developer was expelled in November, and Google has been refining and adjusting the software since then. We can see even more added functions before the official launch arrives.
Updates to the way Android collects and manages health data have been seen, and could also be extended to the Fitbit application. There is also an live update function of the way it allows applications to put additional information on the lock screen.
A variety of more advanced camera tools will be included in the Android 16 update, and we have also seen indications that the next software will provide a better support for a desktop mode that can be used on an external screen.
