Android 16 QPR2 makes the Recents screen more one-hand friendly (Updated)

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• With Android 16 QPR2, Google’s moving the Chrome URL share button to a more convenient location.
• In Android Canary 2512, Google has removed several UI options for working with images through the Recents screen.

Update, December 10, 2025 (02:00 AM ET): The article mistakenly mentioned that Android 16 QPR2 removed some functionality in the Recents screen. These changes are in the Android Canary 2512 release. The error is regretted, and the article below has been corrected accordingly.

Original article, December 9, 2025 (01:56 PM ET): What’s worse than Google removing a genuinely useful feature from Android? Well, a few things, certainly, but high on that list we’d have to put “not even realizing the tool existed until it’s already being removed.” And sadly, that may be the case for a lot of you with this neat trick in Android’s Recents screen.
