On Thursday, January 15, 2026, an update for “Android Accessibility Suite (TalkBack),” the comprehensive accessibility app for Android, was released as version v16.2.0.855052621.
This “Android Accessibility Suite” v16.2.0.855052621 update follows app version v16.2.0.846008575, which was released on Monday, January 5, 2026. While the previous version (v16.2.0.846008575) introduced several new features—including new settings categories, a new voice input gesture, text formatting announcements, new gestures for operating Android devices, a new movable bubble, and enhanced keyboard operations—this latest update (v16.2.0.855052621) is a minor update following that release.
However, as previously announced, version v16.2.0.855052621 includes a fix for a bug where long-pressing volume buttons failed to continuously adjust the volume—an issue that has affected Android devices, particularly Google Pixels, since the start of 2026. After applying the update, I confirmed that continuous volume adjustment via a long-press now works correctly, even with the “Select to Speak shortcut” enabled, which was the underlying cause of the issue.
