Although Android 15 isn’t fully available yet, we already have some idea of what to expect from Android 16, with two possible features just leaked.
First, there is the priority mode. This is what Android Authority discovered in the latest Android 15 QPR 1 (Quarterly Platform Release 1) beta. This is essentially an update to the existing Do Not Disturb mode, with the addition of the ability to create multiple custom preferred modes, each with its own name, settings, and icon.
You can configure when notifications are triggered, such as at bedtime or during calendar events, and what notifications (if any) are allowed when they are active. You can also disable always-on display in priority mode, make the screen black and white, and darken the wallpaper.

Each priority mode has over 40 icons to choose from, and the feature can be accessed from both the quick settings panel and the main settings menu.
