Android 13 is coming with these must-have features! - Gizchina.com

We should very soon have news from Google about the first Developer Previews (DP), which will be made available during the first quarter of 2022 (from February) and which will allow us to have a first precise idea of ​​what Android 13 is going to look like.

For now, Google seems to focus on audio, but we can imagine a similar function for video content.

This option is called Media TTT (tap to transfer) for the moment, but it is likely that Google will opt for a more marketing name when the function is available for what looks like a successor to Android Beam and Nearby Share.

Below you can find screenshots obtained by Android Police, which explains that this is a mockup used by Google engineers for the development of this new option.

At the origin of the information, Android Police does not know if this function of Android 13 will be exclusive to tablets or if it will also be available on smartphones.

Another feature that could appear with the update according to commits spotted on Android Open Source Project (AOSP), the possibility of implementing contactless payment options via NFC for profiles saved on the device that is not the main account.

With the update to Android 13, an option should appear to disable the invocation of Google Assistant when pressing and holding the home button.

With Android 13, Google wants to give users the option of choosing a default language for each installed application.

The option will be available through the system’s language settings or from the “App Info” pop-up menu obtained by tapping and holding an app.

According to XDA Developers, Google is testing a function where the user will have to authorize an application to send him notifications.

The source does know that the American group could run out of time to integrate this option on Android 13; and that we should perhaps wait for a future version of the OS to benefit from it.

We could even see this new option land before Android 13, on Android 12L, a version of the operating system better thought out for tablets and folding smartphones.

This feature would use an Android resource credit system, says XDA Developers.

As a workaround, Google should allow PhantomProcessKiller to be disabled with Android 13, in Developer Options, with the next update.

This is all that Mishaal Rahman spotted within the Android Open Source Project.

Android Police tells us that an option will be available on Android 13; to give access to the QR code scanner directly from the lock screen, to save time.

Android Police clarifies that Google teams are still actively working on this UI element; and that the end result may differ from what we can see in the screenshots that we have.
