Google advises all Android users to update Instagram app to fix battery drain

On the Android Help Community, Google told users to update Instagram to “fix a battery drain issue on Android devices.”

Starting today, Instagram is rolling out an updated app that should fix a battery drain issue on Android devices. Please make sure you have the latest version of the Instagram app (build 382.0.0.49.84) to resolve this issue.

Google has not provided any other details about the problem, including whether a particular manufacturer (Pixel, Samsung, etc.) or Android OS version is impacted, thus indicating this a widespread enough issue.

The Official Google Store, now selling in India!

Google has started selling its Pixel phones, smartwatches, earbuds, accessories etc directly on Google Store in India instead of relying only 3rd party retailers like Flipkart.

The Google Store also supports UPI Payment alongside offering Instant Bank Discounts and No-Cost EMI Plans. You can also enjoy Google Store discounts (ending 30th June), earn Google Store Credit, and get Instant Cashback with your Pixel purchase for a limited-time.

Google Store Exchange Program:
In partnership with Cashify – “Exchange Bonus to reduce the cost of your new Pixel. As part of our launch offer, you’ll also get an extra bonus added to your device’s exchange value.”

There’s also “Pixel Price Promise":
“If you find a better price at a selected retail partner (Flipkart, Croma or Reliance Store) or on Google Store within the return period, you may be eligible for a partial refund.”

⚙️ The dual shade implementation for the quick settings is not gone yet!

Previously, a quick settings implementation containing two separate pages, one for the setting tiles and one for the notification shade, was shown as a work-in-progress replacement for the old style.

Fast forward a few weeks of work, especially after the introduction of the new expressive design, Google is taking the steps of Xiaomi and Samsung and letting the user choose between two different styles for checking their notifications and toggling settings.

This new page contains a switch to change between the "combined" style of quick settings and the "separated" one. The former is the one we have known since forever, while the latter is the dual-shade implemented previously leaked.

As seen in the video, this "switching" implementation is anything but finished; combined quick settings resemble the aspect of previous Android versions, while the separated one is buggy and does not react well to additional content present on the pages. Although, the expressive blur is omnipresent, making this early look still fresh.

This feature was initially found in the beta for Android 16 QPR1, but we expect it to be finished for way after it instead. What do you think of this approach, similar to the famous skins on the phone market?

Admin/Leaker note:

For more seamless usage, you can install this (from the said Pixel 10 Pro, which definitely doesn't have MediaTek modem) on your Pixel, to ensure even more "seamless" usage, where ringtone string actually corresponds to it (And possibly includes a new collection 👀)

*Tock Tock*
There's a new settings around the corner 👀

It seems like Google started testing a brand-new "Enhanced HDR Brightness" feature within the Display settings menu, letting users finally customize HDR brightness to match their own preferences.

While it remains unclear whether this is gonna be released soon or not, there's a certain chance that it might drop as soon as the next QPR1 beta!
