A Sneak Peek at the Next Big Thing in Android
Today, Google is launching Android 14 Beta 1. This is the first beta for the new version of Android, however it’s still not a huge update over the previous developer previews. And that is because Google is saving most of the features for Beta 2 which will be announced next month at Google I/O.
Keep in mind that now that Google has moved into the beta phase, you can easily enroll your Pixel device into the Public Beta here.
What’s new in Android 14 Beta 1?
Building on the feedback that Google received from the first two developer previews, Android 14 Beta improves the system UI. Giving users a more helpful system UI with changes to the system sharesheets. This will allow apps to add custom shortcuts and actions. It’ll also give it a more prominent back arrow to help with navigating several apps at once.
Google is also improving data transparency. This is thanks to a new attribute in Android 14 which allows apps to limit the visibility of sensitive data to accessibility services that clam to help users with disabilities. This has been designed to help protect user data and prevent critical actions from being performed unintentionally.
Finally, Google is improving the graphics. Thanks to updates to the Android Path API, it is now adding more functionality like morphing effects and interpolation. There are also enhancements to per-app language preferences that means apps can offer dynamic customization automatically.
Now, if it sounds like Google doesn’t have many user-facing features in Android 14, you’d be right. Typically, Google saves those user-facing features for the Google I/O Keynote, where they can actually show it off to an audience. So while this is the first beta, it’s really more like a developer preview 3, but one that everyone can download onto their supported Pixel devices. Android 14 is still slated to be available to everyone around the end of August or early September.
