Details

Android 12, announced at Google I/O 2021, signaled the biggest design change in Android history. At its core is Material You, a personalized design language that automatically generates a system-wide color theme based on the user's wallpaper colors, delivering a personalized UI.

Key updates include the following:

  • Design and UI: New widgets with rounded rectangular shapes and a redesigned notification panel were introduced, reflecting the Material You theme.
  • Privacy: A Privacy Dashboard makes it easy to check and control apps' permission access, and real-time indicators for microphone/camera use as well as an approximate location feature were added.
  • Performance and Accessibility: CPU task time was reduced by up to 22%, and big core usage was cut by 15.4%, improving battery efficiency. Enhanced TalkBack and other accessibility features for visually and hearing impaired users were also included.
