The Linux Terminal app now has a tabbed interface in Android 16 Beta 3. Here's what it looks like and how you can activate it yourself.

TL;DR

Google has added a tabbed interface to the Terminal app in Android 16 Beta 3.
The Terminal app lets you run Linux apps in a virtual machine on your Android device.
Adding tabs makes it easier to multitask, as you can issue commands without having to wait for a process to complete.
