The latest version of Google’s operating system, Android 13, began deployment on Pixel terminals after completing the beta phase, with an eye toward its arrival on other brands’ smartphones later.

Android 13 maintains the Material You design language introduced with its predecessor, Android 12, which allows you to customize interface elements such as apps, including non-Google apps, to match the color theme of your wallpaper.

Users can set a language for each application individually, which can be different from the one they have assigned for the system, and customize Bedtime mode with a dark theme and wallpaper dimming.

This version of Android also protects information copied to the clipboard from unwanted access, and extends control over app notifications. And in audio, it introduces spatial audio for wireless headphones and the Bluetooth Low Energy Audio standard, which improves synchronization with the sound source.

Other features focus on improving multitasking and workflow synchronization with other devices such as Chromebooks, as stated by the company on its official blog.

Android 12, Google’s mobile operating system in its most recent version, incorporated a new optional function in its settings that allows users to disable connections through 2G data networks.

In the settings menu, users have a new section within the ‘Network and Internet’ and ‘SIM’ section, entitled ‘allow 2G’, with a button that allows you to enable or disable connectivity with these telephone networks launched in 1991.

Android informs that even if 2G connectivity is deactivated, this coverage will always be available for emergency calls.

Agencies say this feature is a “win” because it allows users to better protect themselves against a surveillance technique known as mobile site spoofing, often used by police to pinpoint the location of suspects.

When using 2G networks, an encryption system is used between the tower and the vulnerable device, since an attacker can intercept it in real time. In addition, the towers do not have to be authenticated, which allows their operation to be replicated.

Also, Android 12L presents a new task bar to more easily manage applications as if it were a computer desktop, as well as a divided screen in which two applications can be opened simultaneously.

Android 12L is already available in its development phase through an emulator, but Google will carry out its official launch in early 2022 taking advantage of the launch of new devices with large screens.

Android 12 will expand the options for applications that are not used on the device, which will allow not only the withdrawal of permissions that can put the privacy of users at risk, but also the optimization of space and battery.

Google introduced with Android 11 the possibility of automatically revoking the permissions of those applications that the user had installed on the smartphone that they did not use. This occurs when you have not opened them for “several months”.

Hibernate mode frees up temporary files to optimize space, as was anticipated in January. This function can be activated within the new Unused Applications section, on the apps info page, in the settings menu, and will be linked to the option to revoke permissions.

Once activated, a corresponding section will appear within the application management, and it will show a list of apps that have not been used for months, as well as the actions linked to it: that the permissions are automatically removed “to protect data”, no notifications to “save battery” and delete temporary files.

Known under the code name “Columbus”, the double tap is the heir to a function that Google has already developed for Android 11, although at the time of the launch of the operating system the tool was not integrated into that version, despite appearing announcements prior to publication.

The company explained that, unlike the function developed for Android 11, the new Columbus will allow “adjusting the sensitivity so that it only recognizes firm blows on the back and can also be disabled.”
