Android 16’s April update fixes UI and Quick Share issues

Google’s April Pixel update is now rolling out to devices running Android 16 starting today, and will roll out over the next week in phases. The handset is coming to Pixel 6 smartphones and newer.

The update doesn’t bring any new updates like the March Pixel Drop; we don’t expect the next Pixel Drop until June. However, this update should come with some fixes. These vulnerabilities range from high to critical.

Here are the fixes:

Apps

• Fix for an issue where the Backup menu was missing from System settings in certain conditions
• Fix for an issue that causes certain banking and third-party apps to crash in certain conditions

Display & Graphics

• Fix for some games to crash in certain conditions

User Interface

• Fix for an issue where the quick search bar is sometimes missing from the home screen in certain conditions

WiFi

• Fix for Quick Share to crash during file transfers in certain conditions
