Google is rolling out Android Canary 2608, bringing new customization options to the Quick Settings menu on Pixel devices. Users can now access a Layout tab after tapping the pencil icon in the settings shade to rearrange their brightness bar, tiles, and media player. This update provides six distinct configuration combinations, allowing for more control over the interface than previous iterations.
The update, marked as version ZP11.260717.006, includes the August 2026 security patch. It is available across a broad range of hardware, including the Pixel 10 series, Pixel 9 series, Pixel 8 series, Pixel 7 series, Pixel 6 series, and the Pixel Tablet.
This build marks a significant transition point for hardware support. It serves as the final release for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Users of these specific models who wish to continue using production builds must transition by flashing the most recent version, a process that requires a complete data wipe of the device.
Additional features in this Canary release include AI-generated lockscreen clocks and the return of native app locking capabilities. As with all Canary builds from Google, this software remains experimental. It is intended for testing purposes and is not recommended for daily use on primary devices.
