Android 13 is now available for people to download and install on their phones, and we\u2019re all excited about that. It\u2019s been in beta testing for the past several months, and Google has been adding to the software ever since. Now that it\u2019s official, here are the top 13 best Android 13 features that you\u2019re sure to love.
\nThe revamped media player
\nThe first major change is a new media player. Since Android 8, Google has been making some notable changes to Android\u2019s media player. In Android 13, the media player will appear bigger in the notification shade, and the album art will be the background of the player.<\/p>\n
Another interesting visual change has to do with the progress bar. As the song progresses, you\u2019ll see the bar behind the current position turn into a wavy line. It\u2019s not all too practical, but it\u2019s a nice visual addition.
\nAdditional options for Dynamic Color
\nAndroid 12 introduced Material You and all of its features, and one such feature is called Dynamic Color. This is the feature that takes the prominent colors present in your wallpaper and creates a custom color scheme for the UI.
\nWith Android 12, you have four options for color schemes, but Android 13 gives you a lot more. It bumps up the number from 4 to 16. Not only that but there are also more solid colors that you can apply to the UI. This includes 11 single-tone options and 5 dual-tone options.
\nThe active app indicator
\nYou want to keep track of which apps are running in the background. It helps you know which ones are using up more battery power and RAM. Android 13 has a new Active apps indicator. With this, you\u2019ll be able to see which apps are on and how long they\u2019ve been on. It\u2019s easy to lose track of which apps you\u2019re using and which ones you\u2019re done with.
\nYou\u2019ll just need to pull the notification shade all the way down. On the very bottom of the screen, you\u2019ll see a small bar saying\u00a0Active apps. Tap on it, and you\u2019ll see a little window pop up. This window will show you which apps are on, and it will give you the option to stop them.<\/p>\n
New power\/settings layout
\nIf you want to access your settings and power options more easily, Android 13 changed the power and settings icons in the quick settings. Rather than being in the middle of the screen, they\u2019re right at the bottom of the screen. This makes it easier to reach.
\nGoogle search bar in the app drawer
\nThe app drawer in Android 12\u00a0 gives you a search bar that lets you search your phone and the web. In Android 13, however, it\u2019s a bit more complete. For starters, you can search the web using the bar just like in Android 12, and you can search for apps on your device.
\nAlong with those, Android 13 lets you access Google Assistant from that bar by tapping on the microphone icon. Also, you can open Google Lens right from that bar.<\/p>\n
Last, but not least, you can actually search for system settings right from that bar. For example, if you type in something like \u201cDisplay\u201d, you\u2019ll see some settings as the results. Tapping on the result will take you right to that setting. There are some settings that you can change right from the results like the notification volume or dark\/light theme.
\nQR code reader shortcut
\nThis one might go unnoticed by a lot of people, but if you scan a lot of QR codes, then you\u2019ll like this one. There\u2019s a new shortcut that you can access from the notification shade. You\u2019ll need to dig into the quick settings and place it where you can access it.
\nWhen you grab the setting and place it where you want, all you\u2019ll have to do is tap on it and you\u2019ll be taken right to the scanner.
\nNotification permissions
\nApps and services need to ask permission to do certain things and access certain parts of your system. You need to grant access to things like your microphone, camera, contacts, and so on. With Android 13, apps will also need to ask permission to send you notifications.<\/p>\n
New look for the notifications
\nAndroid 13 has a new mentality toward its notifications. We\u2019re all used to seeing notifications span the width of the screen. However, Android 13 has a different way of showing the notifications.
\nThe first three notifications will span the width of the phone screen, but the remaining notifications won\u2019t. Those will actually be compressed into a small pill right under the full-sized notifications.
\nRevamped device volume picker
\nWhen you have Bluetooth devices connected to your phone, you have the ability to adjust the volume of these devices and select them to play audio with one click. You have access to that on Android 12, but Android 13 revamps that to make it resemble Material You even more.<\/p>\n
The devices are displayed in rounded rectangles, and these are also the bars that you use to adjust the volume. It\u2019s a nice aesthetic change.
\nThe new battery widget
\nAndroid 13 brings a nifty new widget to the platform. It\u2019s simply called the Battery Widget, and it\u2019s a central hub for you to monitor your device\u2019s battery level. Not only does it show your phone\u2019s battery level, but also shows you the level of devices you have connected.<\/p>\n
If you have Bluetooth devices connected, then it will show you the battery level of them as well. It will display the battery levels down to intervals of five. If you have TWS earbuds connected, then, depending on what pair you have, the widget will show you the battery level for each bud and for the case.
\nYou can edit text copied to the clipboard
\nGboard allows you to see what you recently copied to your clipboard, but there\u2019s a new function in Android 13. When you copy text using Android 13, you\u2019ll see a little toolbar pop up on the bottom of the screen. There\u2019s an edit button that will let you edit the text you just copied to the clipboard. This is good if you\u2019re going to paste something into a text field, but you want to make some edits to it before you paste it.<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\nSharing text through Nearby Share
\nYou can already share media from device to device using Nearby Share, but the types of files you can share are pretty limited. With Android 13, you\u2019re actually able to send text through Nearby Share. This way, you can send links and other text to another phone with just a few taps.
\nAbility to change the language for individual apps
\nWhen using Android 13, you can actually change the language per app. Say, you want to use Twitter in English and Reddit in Spanish. You can do that. All you have to do is go to the app\u2019s settings and select the language you want to use.<\/p>\n
