Android 14 is an upcoming major release of the Android mobile operating system. Android 14 Beta 1 was released in April 12, 2023.
History[edit]
Android 14 (internally codenamed "Upside Down Cake'',[1]), was announced on February 8, 2023. Android 14 was announced in an Android blog on February 8th, 2023. A developer preview was released immediately,[2] as well as a roadmap with the dates of updates.[3] This contained another developer preview , which was published on March 8[4], as well as four monthly beta versions. The first beta was released on April 12th, which received a hotfix to Beta 1.1 on April 26th.[5]< ref>"Android 14 Release Notes". Android Developers Blog. 2023-04-26. Retrieved 2023-04-28.</ref> The last version is scheduled to reach platform stability in July and general availability shortly thereafter.[3]
The beta versions are available for the Pixel 4a (5G), 5, 5a, 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7 and 7 Pro.[6]
Features[edit]
- Satellite connectivity
- Predictive back gesture
- Integrated Health Connect
- Cloned Apps
- Bloatware finder
Building on the new option added in Android 13 to set languages individually for apps, this feature has been expanded and is easier to implement for developers. Furthermore, the new "Grammatical Inflection API" has been added to allow different salutations in languages when a message refers to the user in a gender-specific language.[7][8]
Compared to previous Android versions, Android 14 will offer the possibility to increase the font size up to 200% instead of 130% previously.[7]
Other innovations improve battery life by making internal processes more efficient for users.[8] In addition, there is now the option to choose directly between energy-saving mode and extreme energy-saving mode.[9]
The screen time since the last full charge is now displayed in the battery settings. The battery consumption is shown separately from system and app applications. This feature was replaced with the launch of Android 12 by showing battery usage over the past 24 hours.[10][11]
For devices with a larger screen, e.g. tablets, the taskbar is expanded in Android 14 and now shows the names of the pinned apps.[10][12]
The design language Material You, already introduced in Android 12 and supplemented in Android 13, gets revised default colors in Android 14.[10]
In order to increase privacy, the user is given the opportunity to decide for himself which images an app may access.[13]
System-wide it is now possible to specify which temperature unit, degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius, should be used in applications.[13]
User experience[edit]
A back-to-home animation preview is shown for compatible apps when the back gesture - if completed - will close the app.[14]
