Google fixes the vibration issue in Android 16 that was causing discomfort to users.
Last month, Android 16 was released, and users have been enjoying new features such as real-time updates for food delivery and transportation apps, the ability to share audio to listen to music with friends via Bluetooth, and the option to adjust screen refresh rates to accommodate more modern displays. However, some issues have also arisen.
Android 16, released last month, has been well received by users, who have enjoyed new features such as live updates for food delivery or transportation apps, the ability to share audio to listen to music with friends via Bluetooth, and the capacity to adjust screen refresh rates to suit more modern displays. However, some users have experienced issues with these new functions, particularly regarding haptic feedback.
To address these problems, Google has begun distributing a new beta version of the operating system, known as Android 16 Beta 3.2. The main improvement in this update is the correction of haptic feedback, which had generated complaints among owners of certain Google Pixel models, who reported excessively strong vibrations, especially while typing. This behavior did not seem to be an intended change, as it only affected specific models.
The new beta version promises to "fix a problem that caused poor calibration of haptic feedback in some cases," which will surely be welcome news for Pixel users who have found this bothersome. Additionally, the update includes a fix for a battery drain issue and a glitch on the screen when using the camera.
For those participating in the Android Beta Program, this new version is already available for download, while others won’t have to wait much longer for these minor issues to be resolved.
