Its all soo boring now. The two major changes I got literally yesterday was to lock out pages in te app drawer and only have a scroll and to separate quick actions and notifications...both of which were new features years ago

Yeah, so far i noticed two "new" features in Android 16; the Contacts app now lists local weather info and birthdays which is nice I guess and Themed Icons are finally not listed as being in beta anymore...

The rest is AI stuff and features that are of no use to me (which doesn't mean everything's bad but it doesn't feel like a major upgrade; more like a Pixel Feature Drop).
