Google news for the new system!
Your home even more connected
Speaking of integrations, but more applied to smart home gadgets, Android 13 now supports Matter, a protocol adopted by several products in this market, such as lamps and plugs smart. With Google's new system, these gadgets will be easily recognized and connected to cell phones.
Apps will ask for permission to access photos
In terms of security, the novelty will have what the company calls a photo picker (Photo Picker in English). This means that Android will allow apps to access user-selected photos and videos instead of granting access to the entire library.
In addition, Google will also have a security and privacy page, where people will be able to check if there are any problems (such as, for example, one of the registered passwords being leaked).
google wallet
If you're shopping, you can use your Android smartphone using Google Pay. In the next system update, Google will rename the feature to Google Wallet. This is a virtual wallet. In it, people will be able to register cards and pay by cell phone via NFC technology.
Google Wallet also supports other items such as ID cards, driver's licenses, vaccination cards and hotel room keys, for example. The functionality of these products in Brazil depends on the integration of the service with the company's technology.
New colors and icons for customization
Android 13 is still based on Material You (Google's design), with new features for those who like to change the look of their phones. It is now possible to further customize menu colors, system font details, and even choose from several different icon options to suit the tool.
What is the expected release date for Android 13?
About the release of Android 13 system, Google started releasing first to developers last week, and Android device users should receive the update gradually. The prediction is that they start with new phones and then other gadgets.
