We’re inviting you to give Beta 1 a try as we welcome more early adopters to give us feedback on this release. We’ll have more to share at Google I/O, coming up on May 11-12, so please save the date! In Beta 1, we’ve added new permissions for more granular access to media files, improved audio routing APIs, and more. Today we’re moving into the next phase of our cycle and releasing the first Beta of Android 13.įor developers, there’s a lot to explore in Android 13, from privacy features like the new notification permission and photo picker, to APIs that help you build great experiences, like themed app icons, quick settings tile placement, and per-app language support, as well as capabilities like Bluetooth LE audio and MIDI 2.0 over USB.
It’s already April and we’ve been making steady progress refining the features and stability of Android 13, building around our core themes of privacy and security, developer productivity, as well as tablet and large screen support.
