Google has released the first preview
version of Android 13 OS. The company releases the first version of the next
operating system in February each year. Google says Android 13 will focus on
security and privacy.
Given that Android 12L is in beta,
Google has released the first preview version for Android 13. With Android 13,
the company focuses on privacy and security. Therefore, the "System Image
Selector" function in the operating system has been improved. When sharing
an image that is already in the cloud and on a local system, the API is
activated in the background, and the application to which the image is intended
can only interfere with that image. Thus, applications cannot interfere with
all images in the gallery. Google also plans to bring this feature to Android
11. In addition, devices connected to the same network will be able to find
each other without activating the location.
Another important function will be the
Monet system, which uses the Material You function. Google will make it
possible for anyone to create dynamic themes with this system. Android themes
will be able to get different colors depending on the selected image and
colors. Initially activated only for Google, the system will be available to
all smartphone manufacturers in future versions. It is planned to introduce
Android 13 together with the Pixel 7 smartphone.
