Android 14 is already in development. The American giant is in charge of Google. While Android 13 will only run on a minimal number of devices, the next iteration of this operating system will arrive in developer builds this spring. Despite the fact that the date of availability of the first versions of Android 14 has not yet been announced, we have some information about the upcoming operating system.
There is currently no open version of Android 14 available for testing purposes. However, it is believed that the Developer Preview version will be available for the series as early as this month Pixel 5, Pixel 6 to Pixel 7. The first beta versions of the system will be available after the Google I/O 2023 event, which usually takes place during the month of May. The stable version will arrive at the end of the summer, probably in September.
What news will Android 14 bring?
Auto save media from messages...Support for auto-saving media from incoming messages should be new. The user will thus be able to find photos and videos of the messages directly in his gallery without the need for manual download. Some people may find this feature annoying and we believe it will be possible to disable it.
Better management of transmitted data...Android 14 will also offer better management of data transmitted via mobile data network. People with a more limited data package will be able to save a few valuable megabytes.
Privacy Enhancement...As you may have heard in previous reports, the latest iteration of the operating system will offer the ability to only allow applications to access certain types of media. For example, a music player won't need to see your photos and videos, but of course your audio files will.
Health Connect...One of the most important innovations on Android 14 will be a function called “Health Connect”. This functionality helps users stay connected with fitness data from other devices. If you use several devices to record your physical activities, you can group them in one place, which is sure to please many.
Gesture navigation...Almost all modern smartphones offer the possibility to navigate the system using gestures. It is up to the user which of the navigation options he chooses. Android 14 will further improve this navigation method and allow app developers to implement more gesture control options. They can already test the new gestures in their apps, as they are built-in Developer Preview version for Android 14 are now available for developers. As we mentioned above, designs open to Developer Preview for the general public, we'll see in a few days or weeks.
A smartphone as a webcam... The latest information suggests that Android 14 it will come with the option to use a cell phone as a webcam. This is definitely suitable especially for those who work from home or don't want to buy an external webcam for their desktop computer. Individuals who use laptops with poor quality webcams will also find a purpose. The company already offers a similar solution Apple. What news are you most looking forward to?
