Interested users of the above-mentioned devices can get early access and share their feedback in order to help shape the final experience for all users. Though the company has warned that since this is a preview version, there may be some unexpected bugs. Once the preview software is installed on your device, it will not be possible to roll back to Android 15. The preview program will come to an end till the formal version of Android 16 is released to end-users. So it is advisable to think about all the factors before installing the program.
