Android 16: Icons are intermittently fasting. For their health.

The latest beta for Android 16 is not merely an update; it's a lifestyle intervention. Our beloved home screens are reportedly embarking on a rigorous new wellness journey, adopting an 'Intermittent Fasting Protocol' for their icons. What was once a vibrant, always-on buffet of applications is now a carefully managed caloric intake of pixels, with app icons reportedly 'toning up' through various shape alterations and potentially disappearing acts during off-peak hours.

This pioneering approach to digital health, primarily experienced by early adopters on Pixel phones, aims to declutter the visual palate. While the precise fasting window remains confidential, sources suggest icons are undergoing a metabolic reset, ensuring peak efficiency and minimal 'visual bloat.' One can only admire the dedication of our devices to self-improvement, even if it means users are now subtly encouraged to practice their own form of intermittent fasting simply by squinting to find a 'slimmed-down' shortcut. The future of the user interface is apparently lean, mean, and hungry for efficiency.
