I’ve been using the Android 14 Beta for a while now so nothing really new to me for now, but what I liked since the beta is that the battery life got better.

The ability to give apps permissions on a per-file basis is also cool, although it made some apps unusable probably because they aren’t supporting that right now (but maybe that changed or will change soon now that the stable release is out).

So what are the changes you noticed the most and which ones do you like or hate so far?

    Android Police did a nice write-up about the Android 14 changes: https://www.androidpolice.com/android-14/

    Or if you prefer a nerdier version: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/summary

    But yeah, as others pointed out in the comments, the visual changes are rare, it’s mostly incremental QoL improvements, battery optimizations (mostly for Pixel phones as there were lots of those in the Beta changelogs), and a few security features (e.g. you can choose to let an app only see the image you’re about to upload, but I found that it breaks uploading on the Tumblr app, so gotta wait for apps to fully support that).

      So not much aye.

      Looked for battery information. Couldn’t find it. About as useful as I could see.

      What pixel need to do is stop breaking functions. Display out and such. Stop breaking software
