Here's everything I found in Android 13 Developer Preview 2 (thread)

The settings and power menu buttons have been moved to the bottom of the notifications shade.

There's a new foreground service manager that shows apps running in the foreground. Whenever there's a foreground app, you'll see text at the bottom of the notification shade that shows the # of active apps. Tap that and a dialog appears, showing which apps.

If you previously granted an app Android 13's new runtime permission for notifications, then Android may ask if you want to let an app continue sending you notifications.

Do Not Disturb mode has been renamed to Priority mode.

DP2 includes the first hint of the major screen saver revamp that I previously talked about. The screen saver page now shows previews.

Android 13's taskbar now includes an app drawer!

The Accessibility magnifier now has a "follow typing" setting that makes the magnification area follow the text as you type.

As I mentioned previously, Fast Pair is being added to AOSP, and now DP2 includes a toggle for it in Settings. blog.esper.io/android-13-dee…

There's a new Quick Setting tile to launch Privacy Controls, where you can toggle camera, mic, and location availability. It also includes a shortcut to launch security settings. The UI seems rather unfinished, though.

"Show touches on screen" is there in SystemUI's screen recorder in Android 13. It was removed in Android 12L due to an issue with how the cursor is drawn.

The new media player and media output picker UI I first revealed are now enabled by default in Android 13 DP2!

The redesigned output picker also added a "pair new device" button that wasn't there in DP1.

The new Material You dynamic color styles work in DP2! Here's TONAL_SPOT, VIBRANT, EXPRESSIVE, and SPRITZ in order. I'll share how to enable them soon :)

The UI when creating a new profile has been updated.

When enabling freeform multiwindow support in Developer Options, a new dialog tells you to reboot the phone to properly enable it.

Android 13 prepares to add a "kids mode" nav bar that hides the recents and changes the icons for back and home.

Screwed up the thread (I blame Twitter's UI), so here's an embed of tweets you may have missed:

@RonAmadeo

Android 13 includes a hidden developer option for toggling Memory Tagging Extension (MTE), a new feature of Arm v9 CPUs!

(More info on this soon!)

Taking a short break to update my Android 13 deep dive article with all these findings.

Go here for the more in-depth explanation on everything that I tweeted about: blog.esper.io/android-13-dee…

Recorded this video to show off the new Accessibility magnifier feature that follows the text as you type.

Ugh, Twitter threads. Sorry for screwing it up again, here's a tweet you may have missed:

https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1504522976552701957

Granular vibration sliders have been added to control alarm and media vibrations.

"Font size" and "display size" settings have been consolidated into "display size and text", where you can see a preview of how your font/display size affects text/icon sizes.

Per-app language settings are now available in DP2. This used to be hidden behind a feature flag in DP1.

Legit think Twitter is messing up somehow. I keep going back to "Add another Tweet" in the thread, but it sometimes adds it as a reply to another tweet.

Anyway, ICYM this:

Here's what's new in Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3 🧵

Android finally has a pop-up dialog for the Bluetooth Quick Setting tile! I previously spotted this in the QPR2 Beta 2 release, but it's now enabled by default in QPR2 Beta 3!

(Image credits: @Nail_Sadykov.)

Android 14 QPR2 Beta 3 is preparing to add a new "make all apps dark" toggle under Settings > Accessibility > color and motion. This option inverts the colors of apps that don't support a dark theme. This does the same thing as the developer option, just now available outside of dev options.

Here's what's new in Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2, the second beta update for the next quarterly Android release that will roll out in March 2024 🧵

https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1724888813653106952

For context, check out my previous deep dive thread on Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1, as I will likely mention a lot of things I found in the first beta:

https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1724888813653106952

In the "Internet" panel, there's now a "Share Wi-Fi" button in the bottom left. Tapping this button opens the existing Share Wi-Fi page where a QR code is shown that others can scan to join your network, or you can tap "Nearby" to share your Wi-Fi credentials via Nearby Share.

Android 14 is rolling out for the Pixel 4a 5G and later starting TODAY! The update brings more customization, control, and accessibility features. If you haven’t been on the beta and want to know what new features are in Android 14, here’s a summary of the highlights:

Google says that several of the large-screen features originally planned for Android 14 were made available as updates to Android 13. This is because the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold shipped with Android 13 QPR3, so these features had to be ready for their launch.

Speaking of the Pixel Fold, Google Translate will soon be adding a Dual Screen Interpreter Mode, which will show your own words on one screen and your translated words on the other screen.

Android 14 Beta 4 just dropped, so here’s my thread covering what’s new 🧵

twitter.com/MishaalRahman/…

Sidenote: I’m only covering changes that were added since Android 14 Beta 3, so there won’t be a lot! If you want to see what the previous Developer Previews/Betas introduced, check out my earlier threads: twitter.com/MishaalRahman/…

Houston, we have a liftoff 🚀! The new Easter egg is here in Android 14 Beta 4, and it’ll delight any space sim enthusiasts out there. I don’t know what the heck I’m doing, but here’s a first look at the new Easter egg! I bet @dsandler had a LOT of fun with this one.
