Android 16, Google’s latest operating system, was unveiled in a developer preview this Wednesday. Insights into the new OS reveal a potentially game-changing privacy feature that automatically hides sensitive notifications on the lock screen, such as OTPs and two-factor authentication codes.

Enhanced Privacy with Android 16 According to a detailed report by Mishaal Rahman from Android Authority, the feature found in Android 16 Developer Preview 1 utilizes Android System Intelligence. This system can identify “sensitive” notifications on the lock screen and redact them automatically, requiring no user input.

The first Developer Preview of #Android16 is available now to test with your apps! 🎉

Android will have more frequent releases going forward–with two SDK releases in 2025, as part of our effort to drive faster innovation in apps and devices. Learn more → https://t.co/cLl4K2aldd pic.twitter.com/jJ98rvKBDG

Even if users activate the option to display sensitive notifications, they will remain hidden. When deactivated, the lock screen will only show the app’s name and send the notification. Additionally, a new setting in the Developer Preview allows users to specify which apps can access notifications and to what extent they are displayed.

This privacy feature builds on mechanisms found in Android 15, which also employs Android System Intelligence to scan for sensitive content before it reaches the Notification Listener API. Access to read these notifications remains tightly controlled and is reserved only for apps signed with the system certificate or those performing specific roles.

Upcoming Android 16 Release Android 16 is scheduled to join the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) on June 3 and start rolling out as an over-the-air (OTA) update for Google Pixel devices on the same day. Google has announced plans for a major Android release in the second quarter of 2025, with a subsequent minor release slated for the fourth quarter.
