Google confirms Android 16’s flashiest trick is not just reserved for Pixel phones
- Google has confirmed that Android 16’s Live Update will arrive on Samsung, OnePlus, vivo, and Xiaomi devices, apart from Pixel phones.
- Samsung will integrate Live Updates into its Now Bar, something a recent One UI 8 leak also showcased.
- OnePlus will introduce the feature through its Live Alerts system, while vivo and Xiaomi plan to incorporate Live Updates into their own custom skins.
Google has confirmed that one of Android 16‘s standout features — Live Updates — will not be limited to Pixel devices. The feature will also roll out to smartphones from Samsung, OnePlus, vivo, and Xiaomi later this year.
Live Updates, first introduced with the Android 16 beta, offers real-time progress notifications for apps such as food delivery, rideshare, and navigation services. Instead of opening individual apps, users can view live updates, such as when an Uber is arriving or how far along a delivery is, directly on their lock or home screens.
