Google has announced a major update to Android, incorporating a desktop interface feature that allows users to access a full-fledged desktop experience while connected to an external display. The new feature is built in collaboration with Samsung and aims to provide resizable windows and a dock for frequently used apps. While the exact implementation details are still unclear, Google emphasizes its potential to offer a “true desktop-like experience” on large screens. However, phone makers must enable this feature, and app developers must adapt their apps to work seamlessly with the new functionality. A developer beta of Android 16 is available now for select devices, allowing users to try out the new features before its official launch in June.
