Google today is rolling out Android Canary 2609 with another update to Quick Settings that lets you require an unlock before making changes.

ZP11.260821.010 with the September 2026 security patch is available for the Pixel 10a, Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel 9a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 8a, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 6a, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet.

Google notes that “support for Pixel 11 devices will be added with the next Canary release. Additionally, Google has dropped support for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.

As always, “Canary builds are highly experimental and are NOT recommended for general use.”

Go to Settings > Display & touch > Lock screen for the new “Require unlock for Quick Settings” toggle that is off by default: “To prevent unauthorized changes, you must unlock your device to use Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, and Airplane Mode.”

When enabled, you can still open the Quick Settings panel from the lockscreen, but tapping on those key Tiles will prompt you to fingerprint or PIN unlock. The flashlight, rotation, dark theme, etc. don’t require authorization.

• Additionally, the “Voice broadcast” Tile moves from system apps to Connectivity.

• Appearing on older devices (Pixel 8) with just the existing Notification cooldown feature.
