I thought it was the trezor Web app that got updated to now allow you to access your trezor.

Also I don't know when the update came in but you can access trezor suite from the chrome browser on android devices now too.

I don't see anything new and special in this update, adding custom home screen even is not something I would use, but this is the first main release that removed AOPP.
Everyone else who opted-in for pre-release updates in Trezor Suite received same thing since v22.2.1 release.
I think they should focus more on adding new features and improvements like CoinControl and CoinJoin.

Despite what they're claiming in regards to being some kind of a security feature, I thought it was a weird one... What's next? Some games like the hidden ones on the Passport?

I think they should focus more on adding new features and improvements like CoinControl and CoinJoin.

For some reason, they keep on pushing them back ^{[assuming that I understood everything correctly on Github]}.

When they announced that the old Trezor wallet interface is deprecated and that it would redirect to Trezor Suite starting with 1 March 2022, they also mentioned that Android phones can connect to the app through the Chrome browser. In the meantime, they are working on a Trezor Suite app exclusively for Android. When that is finished, you won't need to connect through your browser. This is the blog post from 3 February 2022.

I thought we had a Trezor Suite thread where I could write this, but turns out it's only for the mobile version. So I decided to dig up this old one just for this small announcement.
There is a useful update in the newest 23.12.3 version of the Trezor Suite. I haven't updated it on my end yet but will do it one day.

During address verification, the addresses are now displayed in chunks of 4 characters each, making it easier to verify. I am not sure if this applies only to the addresses shown in Trezor Suite or also the ones on the hardware wallet screen. I hope it's for both. I have always found that they are a bit too small, and if you are looking at an address at the end of the day with tired eyes, it gets a bit difficult.

Just finished updating it to the latest version, but for some reason, it's not working on my end ^{[Trezor Suite and Model One]}... I tried toggling it off and then on ^{[address display (continuous/spaced)]}, but still had no luck getting it to work.

I have no idea what to tell you. Are you running the latest firmware? Although, I don't think that should be the reason why it isn't working. Try the oldest tricks in the world: restart the Trezor Suite or the PC after the update and try again. I don't think this is something that only works for their Model T and Trezor Safe 3 models, and that they intentionally didn't introduce it for the Model One.

[SFR10]

Are you running the latest firmware?

Yes, it has 1.12.1 firmware in it.

Try the oldest tricks in the world: restart the Trezor Suite or the PC after the update and try again.

Tried both of them ^{[I even reinstalled Trezor Suite]}, but still no luck on my side.

I don't think this is something that only works for their Model T and Trezor Safe 3 models, and that they intentionally didn't introduce it for the Model One.

Considering that their December update didn't have any firmware for the Model One, I'm leaning towards the latter part being the case ^{[unfortunately]}.

You might be right. Judging by their firmware upgrade announcement, the address spacing feature is only available for the Model T. Trezor Safe 3 also had a firmware upgrade, but there is no mention of the new feature being added to it. And as you said, Model One didn't have an update at all (yet). 
Weirdly, they don't write about adding the address spacing feature in their GitHub changelog.

I updated Trezor Suite a few days ago, and one of the updates is the address display with an additional space format for every 4 characters. It makes it easier to match the address in the Trezor Suite app with the hardware wallet during a transaction.

The space format appears in Trezor Suite and the Trezor T hardware wallet screen:

Ok, so now we have first confirmation that the address spacing feature works, but only for the most expensive Trezor T model. I guess we can expect the same feature to be rolled out with the next firmware upgrade for Trezor Safe 3 next and perhaps the grandfather Model One at the end.

I tried looking at the Trezor website: https://trezor.io/learn/a/trezor-suite-update-december-2023
In the explanation of the Improvements section, it is not specifically stated whether the address spacing feature applies to all Trezor models or only to one hardware wallet model. But there, I saw an example using Trezor T only.

I am not sure about new Trezor 3 Safe, but that is not the case with Trezor One.
There is no address spacing in Trezor Suite and screen of Trezor One is probably to small to show all the characters correctly with spacing.

[SFR10]

screen of Trezor One is probably to small to show all the characters correctly with spacing.

You have a point, but considering that there are two physical buttons on the Model One, they could've easily added another page for the remaining alphanumeric characters ^{[the same applies to the Safe 3 model as well]}.
^{- A weird decision by Trezor to exclude the other two!}

They don't discuss it there, but you can find the needed information in the blog post announcing the December firmware upgrade for Trezor devices.
Keep your eyes on the "spaced addresses" feature that they mention for both firmwares for the Model T. The same information isn't available for the Trezor Safe 3. They will either introduce it on the hardware device and Trezor Suite together or not at all. Having it present in the software but not on your device makes no sense as the device is the most important element of verification.

Does this mean that when Trezor Suite detects the Trezor One hardware wallet, the address spacing feature is not displayed in Trezor Suite like what was experienced by SFR10?
Regarding the Trezor One's small screen, displaying the address with additional space for every four characters is not enough on one screen; it must be divided into several slides.

In other words, Trezor Safe 3, with the latest firmware (version 2.6.4), does not yet support the address space feature.

This is an example how address format looks like on Trezor 3 Safe:



Buttons are actually used for navigation up and down for confirmation of amount and fees, but I don't think it would be a good idea to split the screen of addresses in two part.
I don't see any problem with current format, but if people want bigger screen and characters I would suggest different wallets like Passport or Keystone.

Trezor Suite obviously detects exact model of Trezor device you are using, so there is no spacing both in device nor in Trezor Suite app, if you are using model One or model 3.

Correct.
No spacing for now.

I wouldn't mind if the address got divided in two and shared among two screens. It doesn't make it harder to verify the address since you are looking at groups of characters, and it's easier to remember how far you have come. Perhaps they could even make it fit on one with a bit of magic. My old and tired eyes are starting to experience problems looking at the characters on the Trezor One screen after a full day of work and starring at computer monitors. They ought to do it for me.
