Big news: Google has just announced that Android will soon make ALL apps resizable on large screen devices! Currently, apps can lock themselves to portrait orientation or certain aspect ratios, which sucks for large screen devices like tablets, Chromebooks, and upcoming XR devices. On large screen devices, Android 16 will ignore apps' requests to restrict resizing and orientation changes. This behavior applies to apps that target API 36 but doesn't apply to games. Apps can opt out in Android 16 but this opt-out will be removed in the next Android release. Google is previewing these changes in Android 16 Beta 1. Source
