Google on Wednesday released the first public Beta of Android 14 which comes with new features built around the tech company’s core themes of privacy, system navigation, performance, user customisation and more.

The beta version of Android 14 has been rolled out for both developers and early adopters. In a blogpost, Google said that the company has been making steady progress refining the features and stability of the new software.

“Today we’re releasing the first Beta of Android 14, building around our core themes of privacy, security, performance, developer productivity, and user customisation while continuing to improve the large-screen device experience on tablets, foldable, and more,” Google said in a blogpost.

The new Android 14 Beta 1 is currently available to users as well as developers so they can test their app’s compatibility and release any needed updates.

Among the features that come with the Android 14, a new back arrow has been updated under the gesture navigation to help improve back gesture understanding and usefulness while interacting with the app. The back arrow also compliments the user’s wallpaper or device theme.

The Android 14 also brings in a new system share sheet – the page that opens when you tap to share content, allowing developers to add custom app-specific actions to the top of the share menu.

The tech company described this new upgrade as an ‘improved’ experience compared to Android share sheets that always sort share targets alphabetically.In addition, the new share sheet uses more app signals to determine how the direct share targets should rank, the company mentioned. Android 14 beta also includes new graphical features, such as morphing effects and enhanced language settings, which automatically assign language preferences to applications.

Privacy is also improved by allowing apps to limit the visibility of sensitive data to access services that claim to assist disabled users.
