Is This What Android 12 Will Look Like?

Thanks to several screenshots, discovered by the editors of one of the industry websites, we learned what the new version of Google's mobile OS - Android 12 - will probably look like.

IN A NUTSHELL:

  1. Several graphics appeared on the web, which most likely show Android 12;
  2. In the images we see changes in the interface, as well as some possible new features of Google's operating system.

New images surfaced on the web, which probably present a new version of Google's operating system dedicated to mobile devices - Android 12 (via XDA Developers). Images show changes in the user interface. The most striking are rounded corners and fewer icons in the non-expanded notification panel. We also have a new, milky color theme.

However, visual changes are not all, because the images also present several new features that will appear in the next version of the system. For example, we have a privacy indicator, which informs the user about which app use the microphone or the camera. This function resembles the solution known from iOS and also enables us to quickly change some settings.

Another interesting idea is a conversation widget that shows the last calls and conversations and probably enables us to conduct them without opening the appropriate app. According to unofficial reports, Google plans to make this feature a mandatory part of Android 12.

It is worth noting that the screenshots in question are not official Google materials, so for now we should treat the above information as unconfirmed rumors. Android 12 OS will most likely debut in September, this year.
