Additional minor changes in Android 13
There are a handful of small changes in the new OS version that are worth rounding up.
- Flashlight: The quick tap shortcut initially added to Pixels in Android 12 is getting support for turning the flashlight on and off.
- Privacy: Last year's update brought about some significant privacy improvements, and Android 13 is keeping the momentum rolling with 7-day views in the Privacy dashboard.
- Haptics: Silent mode disabled nearly all haptic feedback in DP2. A controversial change and one that has been undone in Beta 1. There are also a handful of new vibration settings, though, right now, they don't seem to do much.
- Big screen changes: Android 13 Beta 1 has also introduced the familiar row of intelligent app suggestions for the drawer on big screen devices, along with a new app drawer shortcut.
- Smart home controls: It brings back the option to control your smart home devices without unlocking your screen first.
- Display and font settings: Google has pushed its display and font size options together under one menu, and the screen saver picker has an all-new look.
- Screen recording: Android's touch indicators when recording have returned after they went missing in 12L.
- Split-screen: A split-screen feature from 12L lets you pull up two apps at once in multiple windows from notifications.
- Hidden features: There's a whole slew of hidden features, including an automatic dark mode and a new placement for the app drawer's search box, helping round out a substantial release.
- exFAT support: It's literally years in the making, but if you've been dying for exFAT support on Android, this latest upgrade will finally make it a reality.
- Navigation bar: While Google isn't changing its gestures system, it did add some thickness to the bar along the bottom of the display. It looks a lot like iOS.
- Media file permissions: Google's introducing some changes to how it handles media file permissions, along with a warning that will prevent users from handing over more data to older apps than they otherwise would.
