Google had published the Android developer preview for Android 13, the next major Android version, back in February. Later, it released the Beta 1 just last month. The Android 13 Beta 2 has been unveiled at the Google I/O conference. This version of Android, like the previous two, continues to improve privacy and security, as well as developer productivity.
The Android 13 Beta 2 update includes minor adjustments to the display size and fonts, a new now playing animation, new permission for delivering notifications, a privacy-protecting photo picker, and enhanced permissions for pairing with neighboring devices and accessing media files, and more.
