Google has officially released Android 17 Beta 3 updates for compatible devices. This update brings a number of new features that improve the convenience of daily use, including separate volume controls for AI assistants, which are a solution to the problem of the assistant's voice response suddenly being too loud.
Previously, the volume of the AI assistant on Android devices automatically followed the volume settings of media, such as music, video, or calls. As a result, when users increase the volume of media, the AI assistant can sound very loud, disturbing comfort when interacting. Android 17 Beta 3 introduces a dedicated volume slider for the AI assistant, allowing users to independently set the voice of the verbal response from the volume of the media.
With this feature, users can determine the comfort level of the AI assistant's voice, including Gemini and other virtual assistants. Even when the media volume is turned up to watch videos or listen to music, the AI assistant's volume remains stable. This feature is very useful for users who use headphones or earphones, so that interaction with virtual assistants becomes more comfortable and predictable.
Availability and Release Schedule StableThis feature is currently available for Android 17 Beta 3 testers. Given that Android 17 has reached the platform stability stage, Google is expected to include this separate volume control in the final release of the OS, which is scheduled to arrive in June 2026.
In addition to volume control, Android 17 Beta 3 also brings several other improvements and improvements, including improved support for accessibility devices and more flexible notification settings.
According to Google, this update is a small but important step to make interactions with AI assistants more comfortable, safe, and consistent for everyday users.
With the presence of this special volume slider, Android users can now enjoy the experience of using AI assistants without worrying about the response voice suddenly being too loud, while also improving the overall digital experience that is more personal and practical.
