Android 14 Public Beta Release Emphasizes Privacy, Performance, and Personalization

Google's Android 14 public beta offers users a glimpse at the operating system's updated features launching in August.
Key updates include new gesture controls, an improved sharing menu, enhanced language settings, and additional accessibility options protecting user privacy.
Performance and security have also been improved, with developers able to restrict data access and support app-specific languages.
The beta release updates the Android experience with a redesigned back arrow and system icons using the company's signature Material You style.
Google recommends Pixel device owners transition from the Android 13 beta program to the Android 14 beta to experience the latest improvements ahead of the full rollout.
