TL;DR

  • Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2 makes a previously experimental Recents menu change official.
  • Users can no longer save images locally or open them directly in Lens from the Recents screen, with options now limited to just copy or share.
  • The change quietly downgrades a helpful multitasking feature that many Android users may not have even realized existed.

Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2 is now rolling out, and it officially brings several bug fixes and stability improvements. However, the update is also rolling out with a subtle downgrade for the Recents menu that we first spotted back in the Android Canary 2512 update.
