Exciting Update for Pixel Users!

Android 16 QPR2 Beta 2 has just been unleashed for Pixel phone users, and it's not just a minor update—this version brings a sleek new Material 3 Expressive aesthetic to the Setup Wizard!

A Fresh Look for Setup Wizard

The redesigned Setup Wizard features thicker buttons and a more visually appealing card-like interface on several screens. While most users may not notice these enhancements—since the Setup Wizard only appears on new or reset devices—a refresh was essential to make that all-important first impression.

What's New in the Update?

Alongside the stunning visuals, this beta introduces significant functionalities, including

- **Icon Shape Customization:** Tailor your app icons to match your style.

- **Step Tracking in Health Connect:** Keep tabs on your fitness journey.

- **SMS OTP Hijacking Protection:** Enhance your security against potential threats.

Introducing the Upgraded Features — One Screen at a Time!

The Welcome screen, which has debuted since Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1, now showcases thicker, more accessible buttons. Plus, the Accessibility button has been enlarged for easier navigation.

With the language selection screen updated to a cleaner card format and a more cohesive look for the Device Migration screen, even the once-out-of-place Skip button has found its perfect spot.

Refined Fingerprint and Face Unlock Experiences

The Fingerprint Setup and Face Unlock Setup screens now feature uniform button styles and a harmonious design that ties everything together.

Don’t Miss the Subtle Yet Impactful Changes!

Despite their subtlety, these updates are crucial! The Setup Wizard may be a small part of the overall experience, but it’s often the first thing users see when they start fresh on their devices. This polished touch enhances the overall user experience.
