The company also announced that Android 13 has been officially open-sourced and the source code for the new Android 13 system has been uploaded to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
Google has introduced many improvements in Android 13, one of which is in the area of user privacy protection, Android 13 will automatically clean up the contents of the clipboard after a period of time, thus ensuring that malicious apps cannot access this user information. This means that sensitive information such as credit card account numbers, passwords and cell phone numbers saved in the clipboard will not always be available in Android 13.
Google explained: “This move is designed to stop unintended clipboard access. If you copy sensitive data such as email addresses, cell phone numbers, login credentials, etc. on your device, Android will automatically clean up your clipboard history after a period of time.”
It’s worth mentioning that Google didn’t specify how long the clipboard information will disappear after, so 9to5Google conducted a test, which showed that in Android 13, the clipboard information will be automatically cleaned after 1 hour.
In addition, some password management apps already offer the same feature, like Enpass, which will clean up the content copied to the clipboard after a user-set time to protect sensitive information.
The official version of Android 13 further enhances the Material You theme introduced in Android 12, improves the existing privacy controls, and introduces the ability to copy and paste between supported Android devices.
The Xiaomi community announced yesterday that Xiaomi has pushed the Android 13 MIUI Developer Edition to Xiaomi 12 Pro, Xiaomi 12, and Redmi K50 Pro users who applied through the Android 13-based MIUI Developer Edition.
In addition, OPPO also announced that ColorOS 13 public beta version was first adapted to the official version of Android 13, OPPO Find X5, Find X5 Pro, OnePlus 10 Pro users can try to experience it.
