The second beta of Android 12 is here with more features turned on that are expected to be in the final release such as the color theming. More on Beta 2 can be found below. I think I’m going to wait for Beta 3 before I put it on my Pixel 5 but I am very tempted.
Privacy Dashboard - We’ve added a Privacy Dashboard to give users better visibility over the data that apps are accessing. The dashboard offers a simple and clear timeline view of all recent app accesses to microphone, camera, and location.
Mic and camera indicators - We’ve added indicators to the status bar to let users know when apps are using the device camera or microphone. Users can go to Quick Settings to see which apps are accessing their camera or microphone data and manage permissions if needed.
Microphone & camera toggles - We’ve added Quick Settings toggles on supported devices that make it easy for users to instantly disable app access to the microphone and camera. When the toggles are turned off, an app accessing these sensors will receive blank camera and audio feeds, and the system handles notifying the user to enable access to use the app’s features.
Clipboard read notification - To give users more transparency on when apps are reading from the clipboard, Android 12 now displays a toast at the bottom of the screen each time an app calls
More intuitive connectivity experience - To help users understand and manage their network connections better, we’re introducing a simpler and more intuitive connectivity experience across the Status Bar, Quick Settings, and Settings. The new Internet Panel helps users switch between their Internet providers and troubleshoot network connectivity issues more easily.
Things appear to be progressing well and it is getting really hard to stay patient to put the beta on my device. Google changed so much and the UI looks so different and modern while keeping what's core to Pixel in place. This is definitely the update I’ve been waiting for and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
