Google, Android 16 and Live Updates

Now Google Maps is starting to use Android 16’s live update notifications

As shown by Android Authority, there’s also a new option in the Google Maps app that allows you to turn off “live info,” which will appear on the status bar and lockscreen. Live Updates are still only partially supported in Android 16 beta 2.1, as Android Authority says notifications from Google Maps are still “collapsed” on the always-on display.
