Instead of providing an exact address to users, you can now provide an estimated location.
Additionally, Android 12 gives you greater leverage about how much position data you exchange with users. Apps will now only see the estimated location rather than a direct one thanks to new approximate location permissions. Weather apps, for example, do not need the exact position to have a reliable prediction.
With color extraction, the phone can automatically switch to different color shades.
Beyond the Light and Dark modes, Google is making Android phones more personal by allowing you to use your own wallpaper. With Android 12, you'll be able to totally customize your phone with a custom color palette and redesigned widgets on Pixel screens. With call color extraction, you choose your wallpaper and the machine automatically selects which colors are primary, complementary, and simply attractive. The colors are then applied throughout the entire OS, including the indicator shade, lock screen, volume controls, new widgets, and more.
The fast tiles on Android 12 are larger and display more detail.
When you lower the notification shade, you'll see that instead of circular icons, you'll see bigger rectangular icons with rounded corners. You can also do further functions directly from the update area without having to go to the configuration menu. If you want to go to the comprehensive configuration tab, simply hold down either of the icons for a long time.
Android 12 has a feature called Private Computer Core, which saves audio and language data on your computer.
Private Compute Core is used in Android 12. Live Caption, Now Playing, and Smart Reply are all allowed by the Private Computer Core. To protect your privacy, all audio and language processing takes place on the computer, which is disconnected from the network.
