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.

Google announces Android 16 Beta 3, bringing accessibility tools along with it. It brings a feature that allows low-vision users to read texts more comfortably with Text Outline. Android 16 Beta 3 introduces a feature called "Local Network Protection," allowing users more control over which apps can access their devices.
