Android 14 Beta 2: How to Download
Android 14 Beta 2 was released Wednesday as the latest test version of Google’s operating system.
At Google I/O, the company announced that access to the beta version of Android 14 will be extended to smartphones from select manufacturers, allowing users to try the next version of Android before it is officially released later this year.
Unlike the previous beta, this version supports many new features, as Google continues to improve and tweak the operating system with each beta release.
The company’s Android developer website details three new features added in the latest Android 14 Beta 2 release.
Google introduces new custom and built-in predictive fallback animations in the latest beta, allowing users to switch between activities and switch between Tasks and navigate to the home screen.
Android 14 Beta 2 will also limit the ability to display full-screen intent notifications for apps by default, with the exception of the Call and Alarm apps.
According to Google, devices running Android 14 Beta 2 will display more data security notifications and related information will be shown according to the company.
As usual, currently supported Pixel-branded phones from Google can download and install the update right away.
This means that if you have a Pixel 4a 5G or newer phone, you can enroll your handset in Google’s beta program to receive testing versions of Android 14. It is worth noting that the new Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, and Pixel Fold cannot currently be enrolled in the beta program.
Meanwhile, Google also announced that it has expanded Android 14 Beta 2 access to smartphones from other manufacturers including Nothing, OnePlus, Lenovo, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Xiaomi, and Tecno.
