Android’s accessibility tools have let you make on-screen text easier to read with options for bold text and high-contrast text. Android 16 Beta 3 is replacing the latter with a new “outline text” mode. This drops a largely opaque background under text for a look that feels a lot like closed captioning, enhancing contrast further still.

Google's newest mobile operating system took another step forward with Thursday's release of the third beta of Android 16. This brings it to a "platform stability" milestone, meaning its app-facing behaviors won't change,

One feature I’m particularly excited about with Android 16 is broadcast audio support through Auracast. I experienced a demonstration of the technology a few years back at CES.
