Android 17 is here and is available on most supported Pixel devices, and is making its way to other Android devices in the coming months.
Some of the newest features include multitasking better with bubbles, which allows you to turn any app into a compact, floating window. Long-press any app icon to convert it into a bubble that floats on top of other apps.
Screen Reactions is now available in the screen recording feature. Screen Reactions lets you overlay yourself using your phone’s selfie camera and capture your phone screen at the same time. Android 17 also improves the gaming experience for folding devices. You’ll be able to get an optimized 50/50 layout with the game on top and a gamepad below.
Android 17 also offers new security and safety features, like letting you grant temporary access to your precise location, and an enhanced form of the ‘Mark as lost’ feature in Find Hub, which lets you lock a missing phone with your biometrics, so if the robber has your passcode, they still can’t get in.
