You can also try color matching!
Android 12 Beta 2 has been released on a heap of functions.In Android 12, we knew that the visuals were renewed and the new concept would be "Material You", but in this beta release, you can also try the engine based on the image that can be said to be the centerpiece.You can also experience the privacy dashboard and use some new gestures.The new power supply menu has been seen, but some may not like the change.
If you can't wait for the Android 12 release, you can try the one before completion with this Android 12 Beta 2.If your smartphone is Google's Pixel 3 or later, you can easily install it just by opt -in to the OTA update.It can be used with OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, but the procedure is a little more troublesome.It is not the final version, so it may be important to note that there may be a function that can not be used yet, but the half of Android users can see such a back side.
You may already be using beta, but such a person should look at the features you need to check first in this article.
1.New design that became Material YOU
Material You is not the final form yet, but the second installment has been completed than the first beta.All of the customization functions announced are not yet available, but the coloring that matches the color of the wallpaper image is now available on the entire interface.
To see the actual movement of Material You's theme generation engine, press and hold the home screen and select "Wallpaper and Style".Next, select what you want to set on the wallpaper from your photo or the image provided by Google.After that, if you specify whether to use the wallpaper for the home screen or the lock screen (or both), the Android will automatically determine the color that matches it.
The color matching in Android 12 Beta 2 is very delicate, and I don't know exactly what kind of color you are choosing.Also, I'm not sure if I would choose the icon style and font before choosing a wallpaper.But if you play with it, you can get the color matching atmosphere.
2.Privacy Dashboard
For many years, Android has been criticized for its privacy than iOS.So Google created a privacy dashboard as an easy way for Android users to check which apps are accessing which features in the background.There are already various digital welbying tools that manage the user's smartphone usage status, but it feels like an app version.For example, you can see which apps can always access location information and how many times they are ping every day.
The privacy dashboard can be viewed from the setting panel on the "Privacy> Privacy Dashboard", and you can see a pycle of the latest app operation.Next, tap the item such as "Location Information" or "Camera" to see which app has accessed it.If you decide that the setting change is necessary, you can immediately move to the change screen by pressing the "Manage permission" button.
3.Stop access to microphone and camera in an instant
With Android 12 Beta 2, if you want to stop accessing the device camera or microphone with all apps, you can just tap the permission setting panel.This kill switch can also be used as a quick tile for the notification shade.
However, some functions cannot be used in apps that use the killed elements.But Android 12 has made these requests better than before, so the other components of the app should be used as remaining.
4.Indicator for camera and microphone
Some apps move in the background even if they move to other apps, and keep access to cameras and microphones.However, in Android 12, it is safe because a privacy notification indicator is displayed on the upper right of the screen when the app uses a camera or microphone.When it is minimized, it becomes a small green dot like iOS 14.
5.Goodbye to the power supply menu
With Android 12 Beta 2, the power menu has been reduced, eliminating smart home control and shortcuts to Google Pay.Smart Home Control and Google Pay are included in the notice shade, so I will tell you how to do that later.Anyway, this change may be disappointing for those who are expecting the power supply menu to be a universal remote control.
Instead, if you want to launch a Google Assistant by pressing and holding the power button, there is a switch in the Android setting menu.First, search for the "power supply menu" in the settings, and check the option to launch the assistant by holding a long press.Now you can get the Google Assistant up by pressing and holding the power button to say the command.
6.Operate the lighting of the house from the quick setting
The smart home control in Android 12 Beta 2 was stored in the quick setting panel.If you drag twice from the notice shade, a quick tile will come out.If you have put a smart home setting in Android before installing Android 12 Beta 2, a device control button should appear next to the WALLET option.You can operate the compatible devices, such as lighting, security cameras, and thermostats, etc., with a tap of smart home by tapping once.You can fly to the Google Home app by pressing and holding some rooms and controls.
7.Google Pay also moves
Google Pay has also moved to quick setting from the power menu.By default, you can access the wallet by dragging once below.If Google Pay is set, the default card will be displayed on the screen and will be in the scanning state.In the case of not set, authentication is required, and then it can be used for payment.
8.The screen is even darker
Originally, EXTRA DIM was a user auxiliary function, but in Android 12 Beta 2 it became a quick tile in the notice shade.Whether the screen is bright or somewhat dark, you can set a dark setting with one tap.It's nice for those who are bright light and tend to hurt their heads, and those who feel that blue light is tight even if they use dark mode.
9.Quick tap gesture on the back
People who use pixel 4a 5g or pixel 5 can enable the double tap gesture on the back.Search in the configuration panel, or enter the "Gesture" option and select "Quick Tap".When this is enabled, the back of the device can be operated with a double tap, the contents are screenshot shooting, Google Assistant, media regeneration and stop, the latest apps, display of notifications, or launched apps.You can specify from, etc.You can also set the necessary tap strength to inadvertently prevent the operation.
10.Android is getting rounded
As you may have been worried about the leak information of Windows 11, the design with rounded corners is popular recently, and Android 12 Beta 2 is also full of round corners.The corners are rounded to the video of the video's picture -in -picture.
In the final version of Android 12, this kind of detail seems to change more.There are only two more versions planned to be planned, so it's almost time to complete!
