However, this app drawer icon only appears when the user is running the app, it disappears when the user returns to the home screen.
Faster Game loading

Redesign Audio output picker
The expanded volume bar will let you switch between available output devices such as Bluetooth headphones, or phone speakers. This look identical to One UI 4’s audio output picker but a design refresh here improves stability across the interface.
Weekly View in Privacy Dashboard
