The upcoming release of Android 16 QPR3 will introduce a feature that allows users to control the brightness of their Pixel flashlight directly from the Quick Settings Tile. Users will be able to adjust brightness levels through a new Flashlight Strength panel accessible by tapping or dragging a handle, with the option to turn off the flashlight entirely by sliding it down.
For those utilizing the 1×1 Quick Settings Tile, a standard tap will toggle the flashlight on and off, while a long press will reveal the brightness controls. This functionality aligns with the existing Bluetooth Tile behavior. Additionally, the recent QPR3 Beta 1 has made modifications to the layout of the “Edit tiles” section, adjusting the alignment of titles and descriptions.
The stable version of Android 16 QPR3 is anticipated to launch in March 2026, following its beta phase. Users can expect further enhancements as Google continues to refine the experience for Pixel device owners.
