Android 14.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Google has yet to formally announce Android 14.
- Some important Android 14 features were introduced during Google I/O 2023.
- Android 14 beta builds are available for some non-Google devices.
Android 14 was supposed to be announced at Google I/O 2023,
however this did not happen and is now expected later this year. The company
did, however, reveal some fascinating Android 14 features. The first developer
preview of Android 14 was released in February. In April, Google released the
first public beta version of Android 14, which is now available for compatible
phones. Let's have a look at the features of Android 14 as well as the list of
devices that are eligible for Android 14 beta versions.
Android 14 has the following features:
Magic Compose: The new function in Google Messages that
employs artificial intelligence to help users bring more personality to their
discussions. It will propose responses depending on the context of their
communications and potentially change the style of what they write on its own.
Find My Device: As part of Android 14, Google said that Find
My Device will be updated later this summer to operate with a broader range of
devices from various brands, such as headphones, tablets, and more. This will
assist consumers in keeping track of all of their devices. To keep users safe
and protect their privacy, unknown tracker notifications will notify them if an
unidentified tracking tag is following them and assist them in locating it.
Lock screen customization: With Android 14, users will be able
to personalise their lock screen with gorgeous new shortcuts and clocks. Users
will be able to bring their own inspiration to their gadgets as a result of
this. Additionally, users can experiment with a new monochromatic colour scheme
that can be applied to their entire phone interface.
Emoji: With the emoji wallpaper feature, you can create a
personalised wallpaper for both your home and lock screen by selecting up to
fourteen different emoji, browsing through a variety of patterns, and selecting
a colour scheme. Emoji wallpapers are supposed to be interactive, which means
that the emojis on the wallpaper will react when you touch them.
Cinematic wallpapers: With the cinematic wallpaper feature,
users may convert any photo from their camera roll into a 3D image with motion
effects that can then be used as a background. You may create a parallax effect
for your photographs that responds to the tilt of your device by utilising a
sparkle icon button.
