What’s new in Android 12 Beta
A new UI for Android
Android 12 brings the biggest design change in Android's history. The whole experience is reshaped to make it more personal and dynamic in an expressive way, starting with the colors, shapes, light and motion, unifying the entire experience under a single design language called Material You.
Material You explores a more humanistic approach to design. It attempts to create designs that are personal for every style, accessible for every need, alive and adaptive for every screen. Users customize their desktops in the physical and digital worlds with images that are personal and provide comfort and joy.
Redesigned widgets
What’s new in Android Privacy
Privacy Dashboard:
People want an OS that they can trust with their most personal and sensitive information. Moreover, Android is working on reducing the extent where the apps have access to the data, so that it accesses only the data they need for the features they provide.
With the new Privacy Dashboard, users will have a simple and clear timeline view of the last 24 hour accesses to location, microphone and camera. The Privacy dashboard will be available to try in Beta 2.
Approximate Location:
In Android 12, users will have more control over their location data. They will be able to precisely select an approximate location to any app.
Clipboard read Notification:
Android 12 notifies users every time an app reads from their clipboard as the content copied to the clipboard can contain sensitive information as users frequently copy emails, addresses, and even passwords. Users will see a toast at the bottom of the screen each time an app calls. Clipboard read notification will be available to try in Beta 2.
