I’ve been using the Android 14 Beta for a while now so nothing really new to me for now, but what I liked since the beta is that the battery life got better.

The ability to give apps permissions on a per-file basis is also cool, although it made some apps unusable probably because they aren’t supporting that right now (but maybe that changed or will change soon now that the stable release is out).

So what are the changes you noticed the most and which ones do you like or hate so far?

    Nothing of value changed other than the lock screen customizations. What is nice about that is that it changes the always on display look too.

        Webcam feature depends on someone implementing it in an app right? So yeah I’m looking forward to this usecase but it’s not something anyone can use today unless some app already supports?

        I didn’t notice the new colours, what changed?

          Pretty sure the webcam feature is you plug your phone into a PC and it can recognize your phone as a generic webcam and use it for anything without an app.

          I think it’s included by default now so you don’t need an external app. Material you now has more colour choices including monochrome. However in my honest opinion, I think Android should let you change the colours as you please, even if it means using developer mode
