Android's biggest redesign in years expands to Google Messages piece by piece
A multi-stage beta rollout is in the works
Rumor has it Google plans to drop Android 16 on the world any day now. That means the bleeding-edge updates contained in the operating system's Quarterly Platform Release 1 (or QPR1) package — which Pixel users will eventually see in the form of a Pixel Feature Drop — are ready for public beta testing. One of its most anticipated features is the relatively broad Material 3 Expressive design update, the biggest such overhaul since Google introduced the Material You style with Android 12.
