Google has launched the first public beta of its Android 14 operating system.

 

Google has launched the first public beta of its Android 14 operating system.   The general public can now test out the forthcoming software using a supported Google Pixel device. This beta version includes a more prominent back arrow that can "improve back gesture understanding and usefulness" while using apps, Google said. The arrow adjusts to match the user's wallpaper or device theme. Additionally, Android 14 includes Google’s new privacy settings and per-app language preferences. The rollout marks the first of four public beta releases planned for Android 14 following two developer previews. Once users enroll a Pixel device online, they can receive the first beta through an over-the-air-update.
