With the “Monet” engine, Android 12 made the initial steps in the Material You design language with dynamic theming for system user interface (UI) elements. It uses the wallpaper’s primary color to apply shade changes to UI components like buttons, toggles, and sliders.

Reportedly, Google will expand dynamic theming to all app icons in Android 13. Developers will create icons that adapt to the Material You style and color palette dynamically. With Android 13, Google adds a new system photo picker that looks like the iPhone’s file selection panels. It allows users to share just certain photos and videos with applications that ask for gallery access. The functionality makes it easier to share only the necessary information with apps that want to access sensitive user data on a broad scale.

On the other hand, Android 13 introduces new Wi-Fi permission that aids in the reduction of location data use. When apps seek to add a toggle to the notification shade, a new Quick Settings placement API will display a dialogue box.

Google plans to deploy Android 13 beta versions in March or April, with releases testing platform stability following in June.

Developer Preview 1 of Android 13 will be accessible for the Pixel 6 series, Pixel 5, Pixel 4a, and Pixel 4 smartphones for the time being. If you possess one of these devices, we recommend avoiding this early version since many of the features and APIs described above have yet to be deployed, and the build is solely for developers to get their apps ready for Android 13.
