Android 12's second beta brings a few hidden UI tweaks

 The third Android 12 beta is expected to bring a few more Material You design tweaks.

What you need to know

  • Google's second Android 12 beta includes a few new Material You design tweaks.
  • Unlike the privacy-focused features, the UI tweaks are hidden by default.
  • More significant UI changes are expected to arrive in upcoming beta releases.                                                                 

Yesterday, Google rolled out the second Android 12 beta with a host of new privacy features — including a new Privacy Dashboard, app indicators, and new system-wide toggles for the camera and microphone. While Google hasn't announced any major UI changes, the second beta does include some new animations and a few other minor tweaks.

As spotted by Android app developer @kdrag0n, the Settings app in Android 12 can now use the Material shared X-axis animation when switching between different screens. Google has also added a new animation for closing apps to the launcher. It is worth noting, however, that the UI changes are "hidden" by default, so you'll have to enable them manually.



Additionally, the developer has shared screenshots showing all the app icons that you can currently theme with Material You colors. These include Drive, Gmail, Keep, Maps, YouTube, Chrome, Meet, News, Play Books, Family Link, and Translate.

Android 12 beta 2 is now available on all recent Google Pixel phones and some of the best Android phones from OnePlus, Xiaomi, OPPO, Realme, Nokia, Vivo, ASUS, Tecno, Sharp, TCL, and ZTE. If you own a Samsung phone, you will have to wait longer to be able to try out all the new Android 12 features. Samsung is expected to launch an Android 12 beta program for its devices sometime in the fourth quarter of the year.

Flying cars are real. One just completed a 35-minute test flight.

  The flying car comes with a 160 hp BMW engine and it also has a fixed propeller and a ballistic parachute. (Image: Youtube/KleinVision) Flying car, with BMW engine, completes first inter-city flight. Watch here 2 min read  . The flying car, called AirCar, is capable of racing at a speed of 170 kmph and can perform several manoeuvres mid-air. The flying car is capable of flying a distance of 1,000 km at an altitude of 8,200 ft. Flying cars have remained a fantasy for many for decades. A car that is equally capable of running on roads and flying in the sky, sounds interesting but technically challenging. However, in the last couple of years, several companies tried their hands on this technology and came up with innovative prototypes. One such is made by AirCar and it has completed an inter-city test flight for the first time. This was also the first time any flying car completed an inter-city flight. The car flew between two international airports in Nitra and Bratislava in S...
