Android 12 is the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, offering users a range of new features and improvements. It includes a redesigned user interface, enhanced privacy settings, and improved ways to start playing or switch devices. Android 12L also brings major usability improvements and optimizes the OS for foldable devices, tablets, and Chromebooks. After the Release Candidate builds, Google released the first stable version of Android 12 on October 19. When you receive a new notification in Android 12L, you can make a gesture to open the application through which you receive the notification on a split screen.
If you're connected to the Android ecosystem, you can use an Android TV device together with your Android phone, and Android 12 finally includes a built-in remote control for Android TVs. In recent years, Google has opted for Android applications to take into account larger devices, but this is the first time that the company renews its operating system with that goal in mind. Android 12 addresses the delay in notifications on the trampoline with a cleaner and more responsive experience. It also allows users to choose if they want an application to have accurate or approximate access to their location. With Android 12, when you hold down part of the home screen, a context menu will appear in which you can choose between a selection of 5 quick wallpapers without having to open the wallpaper selector.
Interestingly, even before applying a wallpaper, the wallpaper preview screen itself changes to reflect the palette that Android 12 will generate from your wallpaper. We have installation instructions available for Android 12 for the most common installation paths, such as Recovery, ADB and Fastboot for compatible Pixel devices, and via GSI for all other non-compatible Project Treble devices. Downloading and playing games seems easier on Android 12, where you can start a new game even before the download is finished. Currently, the only widespread problem we've encountered with Android 12 is that it may be causing heavy battery consumption on Google Pixel phones. Overall, Android 12 is a great update that offers users more personalization options, enhanced security features, and smoother ways to start playing or switch devices. It is now available in its stable form starting with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
