Google has released the first developer preview of Android 13 for Pixel devices. The preview build has revealed only a few significant details (more expected in the days to come) about the upcoming Android OS. But, the exciting part is that Google has treated users a dose of some nostalgia as it listed the OS version as a dessert name, just like the old days. Here’s a look at all the new features coming to users with the Android 13 update later this year.
Google has started rolling out the first Android 13 developer preview (DP1) to Pixel users with mentions of “Tiramisu” as the Android 13 codename. While the company stopped giving dessert names to its Android builds since Android 10, it did use them to refer their OS internally.
Plus, there is a new Wi-Fi permission feature that will allow apps to connect to Wi-Fi points without needing location permissions, and more such small changes.
Other than this, there are a few tiny tidbits that one can find in the first developer preview of Android 13. Android Central’s Alex Dobie discovered a Camera Obfuscator app that can remove the metadata of an image before sharing it with someone.
Heh. First dev preview of Android 13 Tiramisu includes Google’s internal Camera Obfuscator app. Acts as a share target to strip out EXIF data before sharing on to other apps (for when @lockheimer wants to tweet photos from his Pixel 7) pic.twitter.com/xC7DDAtM8v— Alex Dobie (@alexdobie) February 10, 2022
