  • Android copies iPhone-like flashlight brightness slider in Canary builds
    October 21, 2025, 10:44 PM EDT. Google is adding a system-level LED brightness/flashlight slider to Android, evolving from a simple Quick Settings bar to a stylized flashlight UI. The tweak appears in the latest 2510 Canary channel build after earlier previews. Canary serves as a pre-release testing ground ahead of public beta. The feature mirrors a long-standing iPhone approach; when iOS 18 introduced its redesigned flashlight control, it impressed with its smooth animations and granular control. For now, Android's implementation targets brightness only, with no beam-width control yet. Google has not announced a timeline, and rollout could arrive with Android 16 QPR3, possibly around March 2026 at the earliest.
  • Pixel Adds Customizable 3-Button Navigation Order in Android
    October 21, 2025, 10:42 PM EDT. Pixel users can now reorder the bottom 3-button navigation when using full-screen gestures. A new toggle in Settings > System > Navigation mode > 3-button navigation lets you choose between Back, Home, Recents (default) and Recents, Home, Back (Samsung-style). Changes apply instantly at the system level with no reboot and carry through restarts, updates, and work profiles. The feature is currently live for testers in the latest Android Canary build and surfaced in Android 16 QPR2 beta code, with a wider rollout expected via the Quarterly Platform Release after further testing. The tweak reduces muscle-memory friction and improves accessibility for both right- and left-handed users.

  • YouTube rolls out likeness-detection for eligible creators
    October 21, 2025, 10:38 PM EDT. YouTube has officially rolled out its likeness-detection technology to eligible creators in the YouTube Partner Program after a pilot phase. The feature lets creators request removal of AI-generated content that uses their likeness. The first wave was confirmed to eligible creators by email. The system flags videos featuring a creator's face or voice, enabling removal requests, copyright claims, or archiving. Onboarding requires tapping the Likeness tab, consenting to data processing, and identity verification via a QR code, photo ID, and a brief selfie. Creators may opt out, after which scanning stops within 24 hours. The rollout follows a CAA partnership and YouTube's support for the NO FAKES Act to address deceptive AI replicas.
  • YouTube rolls out likeness detection to curb deepfakes
    October 21, 2025, 10:36 PM EDT. YouTube is rolling out a likeness detection tool to curb deepfakes and better protect user identities. The feature is initially limited to members of the YouTube Partner Program and targets cases where an individual's face has been altered with AI. It may not yet catch voice manipulations. To participate, creators must submit a government-issued ID and a brief video selfie to verify identity and provide source material for review. The system works similarly to Content ID, scanning uploaded videos for possible matches and letting reviewers flag infringing content for removal. The rollout underscores growing focus on identity protection as AI-generated media becomes more capable.
