What to expect from Android 13
Android 13 is not heavy on new features like Android 12, but there are some significant changes that will be appreciated by users. For example, there is a new Copy-Paste UI that tells the user when the text has been copied and shows preview too, like the prompt they see at the bottom of the screen after capturing screenshots. There is also a predictive back movement that tells users, before, where they will land after running it.
The theme icon is a neat aesthetic tweak that gives a touch of monochromatic to the colored icons to match the color of the wallpaper. Users can also set UI language based on applications. In addition, Android 13 also added support for Bluetooth Le Audio, which completed the final specifications earlier this week and brought benefits such as the new Codec LC3, Multi-Ambalian Audio, and Wireless Broadcasts.
On the privacy and security side, there is a new photo picker experience. Instead of giving full access applications to the media library, users can give permission only for photos and videos that applications want to use. Android 13 will also cover all centric tablets that arrived with Android 12L a few months ago. There is also a new design format for media playback widgets, which are now bigger and show album art with clearer details on the lock screen and shade notification.
