The first Android 14 beta allows applications include custom sharing features The software also does more to protect delicate information

You no much longer need to be a designer to see the benefit of an Android 14 sneak peek. Google has launched the first Android 14 beta, and there are a couple of small but significant improvements for very early adopters. Applications can currently include custom activities and faster ways to Android's share sheets. In various other words, cross-app functionality should be significantly more effective once enough software takes benefit of the feature.

You will also see a "more prominent" back arrowhead in the gesture-based navigating user interface. The arrowhead also matches your device theme or wallpaper. It is a small touch, but it in theory helps users understand how motions work.

Additional upgrades are behind the scenes. Applications can currently limit ease of access services' ability to see delicate information. This prevents harmful solutions from peeking at information, and decreases the chances of carrying out critical activities accidentally. Android 14 Beta 1 also supports new vector-based aesthetic impacts in applications, such as changing and interpolation.

Previously Android 14 sneak peeks improved ease of access, battery security and life. There is also more powerful support for collapsible phones and tablet computers as well as local customization on a per-app basis.

You will still need either Android Studio's emulator or a recent-enough Pixel device (the Pixel 4a and more recent) to try the Android 14 beta. It is easier to install, however, as you currently simply need to enroll your Pixel in the Android Beta Program to download and install future updates and this. We still would not use the beta on a mission-critical telephone, but it is currently dependable enough that you might want to try it on an additional handset where problems are tolerable.

Google may not have exposed everything there's to know about Android 14. It typically waits until its I/O conference in the springtime to share the significant feature sets for approaching Android introduces, and you will not see the first launch prospects until June. The finished OS is most likely to show up late in the summer. Think about this as Google gradually drawing a drape open up — it is not ready for the complete expose.
