Google unveiled Android 12 earlier this week during its busy I/O 2021 keynote, confirming most of the Android 12 leaks that preceded the developer conference. Android 12 introduces a significant design overhaul, including a one-touch customization feature that allows each user to give their phones and tablets a distinct look without installing any themes. The redesign also touches other user interface elements, like buttons and menus, with Google insisting that the fluid redesign would work well on various types of devices. Then, Google built all sorts of new features into Android 12 to improve the overall smartphone experience and the expected privacy and security updates.
Most of Google’s privacy initiatives for Android 12 leaked before the event. We knew about the microphone and camera indicators, the new Privacy Dashboard, and the app hibernation feature. But Google confirmed most of them during the main event or in later presentations for developers, proving that it’s ready to enhance privacy features in the future. The best new privacy features will only be available once Android 12 beta 2 rolls out, however.
