◆ 1: New photo picker
Android 13 has a new photo picker for selecting photos and videos in the storage of the terminal and in the cloud. This allows you to select images and videos without allowing access to the entire storage.
◆ 2: New functions for QR code scanner shortcuts and quick settings
A shortcut to call the QR code scanner with one tap has been added to the quick settings, and a tile of shortcuts to switch color correction and one-handed mode on and off has also been added.
We've also added a new feature that allows your app to suggest to users whether to add shortcut tiles to them.
◆ 3: Automatic clear of clipboard
The clipboard function, which allows you to copy text and paste it later, is convenient, but if you leave sensitive data copied, there is a risk that it will be read by an unintended application. For example, Google's input application Gboard has a function to erase the clipboard function in one hour, but the same thing can now be done on the Android side.
The default time to clear automatically is 3.6 million milliseconds, or 1 hour, but you can change it. When you play the following movie, you can see how the URL saved in the clipboard is not immediately pasted in the search field by setting the time to automatic clear to 5 seconds.
◆ 4: Thematic app icon
Android 13 now has thematic app icons that inherit the color tones of the wallpaper or theme of your choice.
◆ 5: Hub mode
According to Esper, Android 13 DP1 is equipped with 'hub mode' which is a function under development called 'communal mode' internally. This hub mode is unknown except that it seems to be a function to share the application on multiple devices at the time of writing the article, but Esper says, 'There is some big plan for tablets that are supposed to be fixed to the dock and used. It is suggested. '
◆ 6: Near by device permission for Wi-Fi
Although not a new feature, Android 13 DP1 also includes Near by
◆ 7: When will Android 13 be released?
According to the roadmap released by Google, the final release of Android 13 is expected to be after August 2022.
