  "account": "Google has recently released Android Canary 2608, introducing the ability to customize the Quick Settings layout on Pixel devices. This update, ZP11.260717.006, carries the August 2026 security patch and is available for various Pixel models including 10a, 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, 10 Pro Fold, 9a, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, 8a, 8, 8 Pro, 7a, 7 Pro, 7, 6a, 6 Pro, 6, 6 Fold, and 6 Tablet. It will be the final release for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro models, with users advised to transition to stable production releases using the latest production build, which requires a data wipe. The customization feature is activated by tapping the pencil icon in the corner, leading to a \"Layout\" tab where users can reorder the Brightness bar, Tiles, and Media player in six different combinations. While unique to Pixel, similar customization options are already available from other OEMs. For more news, viewers are directed to 9to5Google on YouTube.",
