Android 16 Beta 4 Introduces Darker Media Player Artwork and Subtle UI Tweaks

Dive into the mysterious shade shift as Android 16 Beta 4 darkens media player artwork on Pixel devices, adding a subtle twist to your music experience.

Android 16 Beta 4 Updates Media Player Artwork and Volume Slider

Darker Artwork in Media Player

  • Change: In Android 16 Beta 4, the artwork displayed in the media player on Pixel devices has been darkened.
  • Impact: This change affects both the lockscreen and Quick Settings. The differences are particularly noticeable with apps like YouTube and YouTube Music.
  • Effect: While the lava lamp effect is still present when something is playing, it is less prominent, potentially making for a more subtle and less distracting user experience.
  • Future: It's unclear if this change will be retained in the final release of Android 16.

Media Switcher and Volume Slider Updates

  • Volume Slider: In Beta 4, the media switcher now includes a dot at the right end of the volume slider. This serves as an endpoint marker, aligning with other Material 3 updates in Android 16.
  • Other Changes: The Pixel 9a can now enroll in the Android 16 Beta program, and Beta 4 is currently rolling out for Pixel devices.
