  • i love how these ""essential"" "features" mostly consist of animations and slight tweaks...

    @merbudd@merbudd7 ай бұрын

    • Well... Android is fairly fully features. We're not going to see massive, wholesale changes anymore.

      @dansourile5444@dansourile54447 ай бұрын

    • Its a mature technology that's why

      @user-py7qo6wg9q@user-py7qo6wg9q2 ай бұрын

  • This guy and I has different understanding of the word "essential".

    @mr.j5112@mr.j51127 ай бұрын

  • I love the fact that the pixel Eights will get 7 years of updates but my pixel 6A only gets three

    @onknight@onknight7 ай бұрын

    • Pixel 6a will get 3 Android upgrades and additional 2 years of Security updates. Total of 5 years of Security updates

      @malvingandhi707@malvingandhi7077 ай бұрын

    • It's because of the Tensor G3

      @mistamaog@mistamaog7 ай бұрын

    • Okay, this is a new thing. I'm imagining moving forward Google will make eight years the standard thing

      @joryaugustin7114@joryaugustin71147 ай бұрын

    • The pixel 6A is a heap of shit. The 8 is god tier. That's why the update schedule is completely different

      @mrvivalatang@mrvivalatang7 ай бұрын

    • 5 years is enough, I'll change my phone after 5 years anyway

      @teteakhiangte6015@teteakhiangte60157 ай бұрын

  • They could make the ring around the front camera flash for notifications and show charging status. That would be cool I think, heck, call it ' Dynamic Ring' for all I care!

    @hito157@hito1577 ай бұрын

  • Thankyou very much for all the well needed information mate, I just upgraded my Pixel 7 Pro this morning! Although it did say that In 9 days, which would make it October 14th, everyone will get the upgrade regardless! But...I'm not so patient lol! All of these steps you shared most definitely helped me out because I wasn't all to sure what was coming along with the update lol! Again...I appreciate you taking the time to share this info with us. God bless, and have a pleasant day mate, cheers 🍻🤙🥃🍻

  • The transparent navigation bar on dark mode works very well. Like on Facebook, there is no more bezel around the bar which was not the case. (Used Facebook cuz it was one of the apps which was very famous for not supporting a transparent bar for Android)

    @batvet1017@batvet10177 ай бұрын

    • it doesn't work on spotify though

      @kindofanmol@kindofanmol3 ай бұрын

  • Is there any major update in the backend? Or is it mostly just appearance updates in the UI? If it's the former I think I can use my current phone on android 13 for another year easily

    @dragonsaige@dragonsaige7 ай бұрын

  • I thought they were adding a desktop mode like dex or was that specific to the pixel?

    • Same !!!!

      @darshanD_o7@darshanD_o77 ай бұрын

    • Strange. I use that app and after updating my P6pro to A14 it still works for me. I notice the home screen icons now have a little "shortcut maker" right arrow in the lower right of each app icon made with the app but they still properly launch any given app. Try force stopping Shortcut Maker, clearing cache, and rebooting phone?

  • I'm stupid, let me get this straight... I have a Motorola Edge 30 with Android 13, my home screen and lock screen's wallpapers are basically pink images. The theme I can apply from the Motorola settings (there is NO "Themes App", like I encountered in my Xiaomi phone) chooses the colour of everything based on any colour I want (pink, because I love this colour), or I can pick the colour from the wallpaper. So, choosing from the wallpapers, my phone app (Google phone, the stock app) is pink, my messages app (Google messages, the stock app) is pink, my calculator (stock app) is pink, my buttons are pink, and even my Chrome tabs are pink, and I REALLY love this. Will tI be able to choose the colour basing on the wallpaper applied, with this Android update? I don't want to lose my pink...!
