Android 14 Developer Preview 2: Every mobile phone runs on an operating system. That is, whatever phone you are using now, it will either run on Android 11, 12, 13 or if you use Apple then it will run on IOS 16, 14 etc. You get all the updates and features in the operating system, due to which your experience is better on mobile. Meanwhile, the good news for Android users is that Google may launch Android 14 soon. Before the launch, Google has released the second developer preview of Android 14. Let us know what is going to be new in Android 14.
All this will be available in Android 14
flash notification
After the arrival of Android 14, if you turn on the flash notification, then whenever you get a message or notification, the flash found on the back side of the mobile will light up and you will come to know that the message has arrived. Till now people do this work through third party app.
Battery and memory management will be better
In Android 14, most of the apps or cache files running in the background will be closed and only a few selected applications will run, which will save your battery. Also, in the new OS, you will find very few such notifications which you cannot dismiss. Many times you must have seen that notification comes but you are not able to clear it. But nothing like this will happen in the new update and you will be able to dismiss the notification easily.
predictive back gestures
If you have turned on the setting of gesture in mobile phone and you use gesture instead of button to come back or home screen, then till now you must have seen that whenever you press back gesture, you will directly go to home screen. But come on. That is, if you are running Instagram and chatting with someone there and you press the back gesture, then you come directly to the home screen. But this will not happen in Android 14 because in this you will get predictive back gesture. With its help, whenever you tap the back gesture, you will see the photo of the previous screen and you will know on which page you are landing. We are adding a picture here for better understanding.
