Apps might want to disable AI writing tools when the user is inputting text in certain text fields like for emails.

Google rolled out the second developer preview of Android 16 the other day, bringing the platform a whole host of new developer features like better app control over haptics, search support for cloud media items in the photo picker, an adaptive refresh rate API, and more. As usual, it also includes changes that Google didn't highlight in its announcement, some of which we've already covered. The latest change we've spotted is a new Writing Tools API that seemingly lets apps opt out of having AI rewrite text for you.
