Google seeded the Android 13 developer preview 2 last week and we now see the new features of the beta being unearthed one by one. <\/p>\n

Starting with the newly designed media controls. Their widgets are now larger than before, and they’re still in the same place as quick settings or notifications. The track’s title and description can fit inside. <\/p>\n

The media output picker has been redesigned as well, in keeping with Android 13’s design language. There’s also the option to pair a new device right from this menu. <\/p>\n

Android 13 will give users new wallpaper effects. Called Cinematic Wallpaper in the developer preview, it will allow users to apply effects to their wallpaper. It is now clear what effects there will be, but the images below show you’ll be able to dim your wallpaper. Some variants of Android already allow this, like Samsung’s OneUI and Xiaomi’s MIUI. <\/p>\n

Finally, the Foreground Services task manager will sit at the bottom of the quick settings and notification panel and display currently-running apps in the foreground. This will allow you to see which apps are running at the moment and also stop them. <\/p>\n

FGS will notify you if an app has been running for more than 20 hours. <\/p>\n

Closing an app through the FGS task manager will be more like force closing it, instead of just swiping it away from the recent apps menu. Here’s a detailed comparison of which action does what. <\/p>\n
