Android 16 Beta 3 is here, bringing a handful of new features to those participating in the Android beta program. The new features included in Android 16 Beta 3 include a new battery health monitoring screen, new accessibility settings, and new tools to keep your local networks safe.

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.

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.
