Android 16 update breaks button and gesture navigation for some Pixel users
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google Pixel users are experiencing an annoying bug after installing the Android 16 update. The bug results in navigation buttons and gestures becoming temporarily unresponsive. User reports suggest that the issue is not limited to a specific Pixel model, although not all users are affected. Google recently rolled out Android 16 on the stable channel, bringing several new features to its Pixel devices. However, the update also seems to have introduced a frustrating bug for some users that makes their phones temporarily unusable. Recent reports on Reddit and X (via Android Headlines) highlight an annoying navigation issue that seems to have cropped up for some Pixel users after installing Android 16. The issue results in both button and gesture-based navigation becoming intermittently unresponsive, and it seems to affect all Pixel models. Here's a demo of the back button randomly not working on Android 16. I grabbed a bug report and submitted it to Google engineering along with this reproduction screencast. Hopefully, they'll figure it out. — Artem Russakovskii (@ArtemR) June 14, 2025 Some users say that the issue appears randomly and makes buttons and gestures completely unresponsive, while others have reported experiencing a delayed response while trying to navigate back or to the home screen. Although we don't have a foolproof workaround, a few affected users say switching to a different launcher app or clearing the Pixel Launcher's data and cache seems to fix the unresponsiveness and lag. Rebooting the device also appears to work in some cases, but the problem resurfaces shortly after the reboot for most users. While the issue doesn't seem widespread, we've seen a growing number of reports over the last few days. Google has yet to acknowledge the issue or reveal the underlying cause, but we expect the company to shed light on the matter in the coming days. We'll update this post as soon as we have more details. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ . You can stay anonymous or get credit for the info, it's your choice.

This Can't Be a Coincidence: Windows Vista Sound Returns to Windows 11, Just as Apple's 'Liquid Glass' Similarities Surface
Microsoft's latest Windows 11 Insider Preview build has unexpectedly brought back the Windows Vista startup sound, replacing the usual Windows 11 chime. The best part of this release is that it happened just as Apple unveiled macOS 26, which has a new 'Liquid Glass' design that many say is similar to Windows Vista's Aero Glass look from 2006. The timing makes me wonder whether Microsoft intended this as a response to Apple's design choices, but the company says it was simply a bug. In the release notes for the latest Windows 11 preview, Microsoft addressed the issue directly, as reported by Windows Central: This week's flight comes with a delightful blast from the past and will play the Windows Vista boot sound instead of the Windows 11 boot sound. We're working on a fix. Brandon LeBlanc from the Windows Insider team also commented on social media, first joking about the return of the sound but then clarifying that it was not intentional. According to reports from users and those examining the system files, the Windows Vista sound file was found in place of the Windows 11 startup sound file, which means the change was due to a technical error rather than a planned update. There is no evidence to say this was a deliberate action by Microsoft, and all official statements say it was a bug that will be corrected soon. But when do official statements ever agree on things like this? Either way, I loved this little banter/dig from Microsoft. What do you think: Did Microsoft deliberately do it?

Google Discover may finally stop hiding the links it shares (APK teardown)
Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Earlier this year, Google implemented automatic link shortening for stories shared through Discover. If you'd rather keep the full URL intact, it looks like Google is developing an option to disable the shorteners. Right now we're able to activate an early preview of the toggle, but it's not yet operational. Google is absolutely no stranger when it comes to controversies, but they don't have to all be big 'federal antitrust case' scale for us to take notice of them. Sometimes it's the smallest moves that end up generating a little pushback, and earlier this year we raised an eyebrow to a questionable change Discover was implementing, replacing full URLs with shortened URLs for sharing. If you didn't love the idea of Google tracking those links, or people just not being able to easily tell what they were clicking, we might have some good news for you.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. Google recently released version beta of its Android app, and as were poking around looking for any interesting changes we stumbled across a new option for Discover link sharing. By default, Discover automatically shortens the URLs of news items you go to share with the help of Google's and tools. AssembleDebug / Android Authority Right now this toggle is neither visible nor operational, and while we weren't able to get it working just yet, we have been able to coax the app to show us the setting as it may appear. Even without getting to see it in action, the label makes it pretty clear what we're dealing with here, and the toggle should ultimately give users the choice between sharing stories with their complete, original URL, or running the link through one of Google's shorteners first. Really, this option feels like how the shorteners should have been initially introduced, as a deliberately optional tool, but we'll be satisfied enough to see it belatedly arrive — assuming that actually happens. In the meantime we'll keep an eye on future Google app updates and see if we aren't able to get this actually working a little ahead of schedule. Got a tip? Talk to us!
