The Android 14 Beta 1 is here and its about to offer you a whole new world of android. But at the moment its beta version is only available to Pixel phone users.
Also Note that if you’re already enrolled in the Android 13 QPR Beta program with a device that’s supported in Android 14 too. You will automatically get the update to Android 14 Beta 1 with no action required.
This beta will be followed by another one in May, according to Google’s release timeline. Then, starting in June, there will be two “Platform Stability” releases.
Android 14 Beta 1 Testing
In Android 14, the gesture navigation experience includes a prominent back arrow while interacting with apps. In order to improve back gesture understanding and usefulness, Google says. This arrow complements your wallpaper or device theme too.
Apps can add custom actions to system share sheets that they invoke, and the system itself uses more app signals to determine the ranking of the direct share targets. Hopefully this means the direct share targets will be more hit than miss in the future.
Android 14 enhances per-app language preferences. Which were introduced in Android 13, allowing for dynamic customization of the set of languages displayed in the per-app language list.
Keyboards will also know the UI language of the current app. Presumably so they can base some auto-switching of input languages on that if they want.
