• It also tweaks the Pixel Launcher to free up more space for apps and widgets on the home screen.

Google just released the first Android 16 QPR1 beta, bringing the Material 3 Expressive design changes showcased earlier this month to its Pixel devices. In addition, the beta update introduces a much-needed improvement for the Pixel Launcher that frees up more space for apps on the home screen.

Google has reduced the size of Pixel’s At a Glance widget in the Android 16 QPR1 beta update, freeing up an extra row on the home screen for other widgets and app icons. The update highlights this change when you boot up after installing the beta build with a pop-up stating, “Good news! Your home screen has a new layout, which means there’s space for more apps and widgets.”
