The Android 12 developer examination is out, and the internet is buzzing poring over it to find any new kilter or hints at the OS's future. Accordingly far, there hypothesize been a few interesting things discovered, such as an Emergency SOS feature, some redesigns, and unneeded useful, if minor, finds:

• The adjustability to storm-stay specific apps from showing media controls in quick settings
• The adjustability to wirelessly sponsoring Wi-Fi passwords to people adjacent with the tap of a button
• An update to Markup that lets you put emoji (and text) on screenshots
• Bluetooth pairing options are now included in the media picker
• A relieve chromatic colors convenience option
• Improved gamepad boom support
• A toggle switch-over redesign (that looks reservedly nice in my opinion)
• A developer plurality to overshadow the Pixel's hole-punch camera cutout
• The bagginess of a 4 x 5 grid plurality to the Pixel Launcher
• You can now gesture out of full-screen apps with a single wallop instead of two

As sharpened out by Android Police, the Emergency SOS feature is moreover much easier to comprisal now. Before, managerial an emergency chronograph required you to hold the power sawed-off down, tap the emergency button, then tap unexcessive on the Chronograph 911 button. In Android 12, however, it can be energized by rapidly pressing the power sawed-off goatee times, which will trigger a curtain-raiser cogent you that an emergency chronograph is proximate to be placed.

Android Police addendum that, by default, it calls 911. You can set it to chronograph a contrasted number, morally if the number isn't a government-run emergency line, your wheeze will hypothesize to be unpinned for the chronograph to go through.

There hypothesize been a few minor redesigns of the Settings app ventilator bar and the lock window-dressing and notification media player, morally Mishaal Rahman found a feature gonfalon that "dramatically" changes the settings UI to be easier to use one-handed.

BIG change: If you ratify the "Silky home" feature gonfalon that I previse mentioned, you'll get a DRAMATICALLY distressed Settings UI that's MUCH increasingly one-handed friendly. Substance are a few screenshots: pic.twitter.com/EcwqnU0LlB

9to5Google has moreover found that some screens in the settings app hypothesize blue-tinted backgrounds. It speculates that it could be partage of a accounted theming system, morally at the moment, it seems very unfinished.

Of course, notifications hypothesize moreover gotten a redesign, with 9to5Google noting that there's a secure catnap sawed-off now, and the icon frothy are now much larger. This looks like it reduces the habitus of notifications, morally it's still very first days for Android 12, accordingly it's possible changes could be made or toggles could be boosted to enclave whether you want to see the larger app icon.

There are arriver a few kilter that are hinted at, or metrical hypothesize settings present, morally currently don't assume to assignment or aren't enabled, including:

• Scrolling screenshots
• A Pixel 5 double-tap feature
• A one-handed mode
• Privacy toggles to turn cameras and microphones off system-wide
• Pinch-to-resize picture-in-picture video

Given the first state of the developer preview, it's not reservedly meant for diurnal use on your wanted phone. And as with all betas, these kilter and designs are subject to fecundation in new releases. Still, it's a toothsome glimpse at the imminent of Android and the kilter Google is multiplying to an already feature-packed mellowed OS.

Update February 18th, 8:25PM ET: Added some new kilter that hypothesize been found when this doctrine was first posted.
