Android Will Sport Chrome - In Time

They were developed separately, but it’s probably no surprise that Google’s upcoming Android phone will be sporting the company’s Chrome browser, even if it doesn’t happen immediately.

Although some features, such as the multiple sandboxes, are unlikely to appear on the mobile version of the browser, its easy integration with other web apps could offer Chrome and advantage in a tight mobile browser market.

However, Chrome probably won’t power the first Android phone, known as Dream, which is die on the market in November.

About a month ago, Google surprised us by releasing the first Android 16 developer preview barely a month after the stable Android 15 update came out. It began a much faster development timeline than we're used to, and it's continuing today with Android 16's second developer preview.

Here’s how Android 16 could make managing notifications easier than ever
Moto G Play (2023) notifications

Are you tired of the constant stream of notifications on your Android phone? Google may have a solution in development as part of its Android 16 update.

Recently, Android Authority discovered a hidden page in the latest Android 15 beta, located under Settings > Notifications, that references Bundled Notifications. This suggests a stable version of Android 15 QPR2 or the upcoming Android 16 release could introduce a new feature similar to Gmail's notification grouping. This would allow similar notifications to be organized into bundles rather than displaying a long, overwhelming list of individual alerts.
