Google has presented the very first Android 13 developer preview. A first look at the latest version of Google’s mobile OS.
Bam, launches full of new features and a refreshed look Google Android 13† Not yet the public version of course, but a first preview for developers to get started with. The public rollout of Android 13 will take a while. That’s only towards the end of the year. It is even likely that your Android device will only be able to start working with version 13 in 2023.
Privacy is an important topic. For example, Apple emphasizes it many times in presentations and Google is not lagging behind either. They have to, because Big Tech naturally feels the hot breath of, among others, the American government. A nice new feature is, for example, that you can only give apps selective access to certain photos. Now, if an app needs access to your gallery, they can access all the photos.
This Android 13 developer preview is a stage that will last until March. The following beta releases will be released from April to June. With subsequent improvements in stability in the period June and July. The release is then in the fall of 2022.
