Google Maps has been up to date with assist for Dwell Updates in Android 16 because the beta continues on.
By means of the newest Google Maps updates (v25.09.02 and better), Google has simply delivered the very first app with assist for one of many new options in Android 16. Dwell Updates have been introduced alongside Android 16 Beta 2, however no apps have had the mandatory updates to assist it, resulting in demo apps being wanted to point out the way it works.
However now, Google Maps has added assist.
Whereas it’s not as full as we anticipate it to be sooner or later, Google Maps working on a Pixel gadget with Android 16 Beta 2.1 can use Dwell Updates – it doesn’t work on Android 16 Beta 2. The app will present itself in a tablet on the high of the show when navigation is ongoing, and tapping that notification will present further contents which might “stick” to the highest of the display for a number of seconds, even when you work together with different apps.
Within the “app information” show, Maps additionally exhibits an choice to toggle off “Dwell Data.”
The tablet notification solely seems, although, if Image-in-Image is turned off.
The implementation right here is sort of an identical to how we see it on the Galaxy S25 sequence (working Android 15), however since Google Maps wanted one other replace to deliver this to Android 16, it stands to purpose the 2 are nonetheless separate.
Android 16 is ready to see its full launch in a matter of months, and we’ll most likely see extra apps undertake Dwell Notifications as soon as that occurs.
Thanks Troy!
