Google released Android 16 Beta 4 for Pixel smartphones, but the update came with an unwelcome surprise: the Battery Health feature, which allows tracking battery condition, disappeared. According to Huawei Central, the bug was first noticed by 9to5Google and affected many users.
Battery Health, introduced in earlier beta versions of Android 16, displays the percentage of remaining battery capacity and provides tips for extending its lifespan. After updating to Beta 4, the page with these details vanished, causing discontent. Fortunately, there’s a solution: rebooting the device often restores access to the feature. For a more reliable result, resetting settings or clearing cache is recommended.
Google has yet to comment on the issue, but the fix will likely appear in the next update. Android 16 Beta 4 also includes interface improvements and fixes for other bugs, but the Battery Health issue has become a noticeable drawback.
