Android 16 may get a revamped quick settings and notifications panel.
The current design of the panel, which combines notifications and quick settings, hasn't changed much since it was introduced in Android 12. However, Mishaal Rahman (via Android Authority) revealed that Google is working on a redesign of the panel that will separate notifications from quick settings.
The notifications panel will still be accessible with a normal swipe from the statusbar, but now it will no longer take up the entire screen and you will be able to see the app you were in as it was before Android 12. A repeated swipe no longer opens quick settings.
And to open the quick settings panel, you have to swipe with two fingers, which most users probably won't like.
The design is still raw, to say the least, and may undergo significant changes in the final version, but it's clear that Google is considering a major overhaul of the notification panel and quick settings, which will likely be added in Android 16.

As previously announced, Android 16 will be released in the second quarter of 2025, therefore Google has published the first Developer Preview version of Android 16 3 months earlier than usual. A total of 2 developer previews (Developer Preview) and at least 4 beta versions of the system are planned. The final release is expected after April.
Developer Preview builds are available for all Google Tensor-powered Pixel devices, including the Pixel 6, 6 Pro and 6a, which means these devices will get Android 16.
You can install the Developer Preview using either the factory image or manually sideloading an OTA image. It is not possible to update to Developer Preview over the air.
Known issues:
• Tapping an ongoing media notification sometimes fails to launch the corresponding app.
• On some devices, the camera screen sometimes flashes if the zoom level is adjusted while recording video.
❗️❗️❗️Regular users are in no way recommended to install this build, especially with a locked bootloader in order to avoid potential device bricking.
Build number: BP21.241018.009

Android 16 will ignore app orientation restrictions on large-screen devices.
Until now, some app developers have relied on screen orientation restrictions, causing the app to simply not take up the entire screen area on large display devices.
Android 16 for apps with Target SDK 36 will ignore the attributes and APIs used to restrict the orientation and resizability of the app interface. This change only affects devices with large screens (i.e. dp > 600) such as foldables, tablets and desktop devices including Chromebooks.
Therefore, this change will not affect phones, flips and external screens of foldable devices. Also, this change does not apply to games.
Users will have the option to choose to use the default behavior set by the app, or ignore these restrictions.
In API 36 (Android 16), app developers can enable an attribute to avoid this system behavior and buy themselves time to adapt the UI, but this attribute will disappear in the next API 37.
