Reliable Android tipster Mishaal Rahman discovered a number of new features in Android 14 QPR1 Beta 2
Summarizes below:
- The “System Update” page has been revamped: it has been changed to the exclusive UI of Pixel models, and it can display the update status of the operating system, the mainline version, and the system app respectively.
- The “Personal Security” app can add information about a user’s height, weight, and pregnancy status. This information can be synchronized between devices using the same Google account, and is encrypted end-to-end so that Google “can’t access” it.
- The Clock app introduces weather information, as well as the ability to display weather on the World Clock widget. This feature is available on Pixel 5a and above
- App “Aspect Ratio” adjustments have been made experimental, and a text warning has been added that “Some apps may not be optimized for certain aspect ratios”.
- For Pixel Fold models, the option to “continue using apps after folding” is temporarily hidden, but not removed (controlling its availability is marked as False).
- When turning on “Screen saver mode”, an additional notification will appear to inform users when the mode will be activated, in case of touch responsiveness issues when the mode is turned on.
- Google is preparing to add a “Pixel Troubleshooting” app that will help users troubleshoot battery, network, and more.
- A new “Battery Diagnostics” page has been added under Settings > Battery, powered by the new “Pixel Troubleshooting” app.
