Android 16 Updates Wi-Fi QR Sharing with a Stylish Touch

In Android 16 Developer Preview 1, the Wi-Fi QR code sharing menu has been given a fresh look. This change aims to make it easier to connect devices using visuals that are more in line with Material You design principles. Instead of the usual square QR code, you'll now see a uniquely shaped one, following the style of other first-party apps like Drive and Photos. The new QR code is larger and adapts to your Dynamic Color theme settings, making it more visually appealing. Even better, it works seamlessly with older Android versions and other operating systems. This update focuses on usability, with a larger Wi-Fi password text for easier reading. The changes don't stop at the appearance. The new QR code is also designed to be more practical. It's visible whether you're sharing a Wi-Fi network or a hotspot, adding consistency to the process. These updates are part of a broader effort to improve the overall user experience in Android, which began with Material You in Android 12. As with all developer previews, expect more tweaks and improvements as Android 16 progresses through its testing phases.
