Android 12 Confirmed Features :
Android 12 will be the twelfth major release and 19th version of Android, the mobile operating system developed by the Open handset Alliance led by Google .
The first beta was released on May 18, 2021.
Visual overhaul and color extraction
With Android 12, the OS will use a color extraction protocol to lift design elements from your installed wallpaper. This means that colors across the whole system will change depending on your home/lock screen background. This will allow an easy and automatic way for your phone to feel unique to you.
Along with color extraction, there are numerous new design tweaks, animations, spacing changes, etc. We have a full roundup of what to expect here.
New Android 12 Quick Tiles
When you pull down the notification shade, you’re probably used to seeing round icons at the top of the panel. Well, in Android 12, those round icons are gone. In their place, we have rounded rectangles. These operate similarly to previous Quick Tiles (a tap turns them on or off; a long-press takes you to the settings page). Now, though, they are larger and can accommodate more information.
Of course, that increase in size means that fewer tiles can be seen at once. You’ll only see four tiles on your first pull of the notification shade instead of the usual six. As the image above attests, the Quick Tiles will be themeable with the color extraction protocol.
Privacy and security improvements
At I/O 2021, Google announced new privacy features for Android 12 to make data collection by apps more transparent. The new tools also give users more granular control over app permissions to help them better manage how and when apps access their information.
Android 12 introduces a new Privacy Dashboard that gives users a detailed view of how apps access their information. When you open it up, you’ll see a summary dashboard that shows you an overview of how many apps accessed your location, camera, and microphone in the past 24 hours.
Scrolling screenshot support
It’s been rumored for years, and it’s finally here. Google is adding native scrolling screenshot support to Android 12. First introduced in beta 3, the new scrolling screenshot feature lets you capture larger images of the current page you’re on. Just take a screenshot like you normally would and tap the new “capture more” button to screenshot more of your screen. Afterward, you can edit and crop the screenshot to your heart’s content.
