Android 16 Beta 4.1 vs Beta 4: Key fixes and performance enhancements you should know

Google has rolled out Android 16 Beta 4.1 to developers and testers, offering a series of bug fixes and system improvements aimed at enhancing overall device performance. The update, which is now available for select Pixel devices, builds on the second major platform stability release. This means all app-facing behaviours and developer APIs are final and will appear in the public release of Android 16 without further changes.

One of the most notable fixes in this update addresses inconsistent haptic feedback that users experienced during common actions such as opening the app drawer, typing on the keyboard, or using the back gesture.
