Although the final release of Android 13 is barely on the verge, Google developers are always working. It’s safe to presume that a roadmap and plans for the next significant release, Android 14, already exist. Even though we now know what Android 13 will and won’t support, we can already compile a list of features that regrettably weren’t included in the most current version of Android. So, here are the seven things that we hope Android 14 will have.
To be clear, this article will concentrate on Google’s first-party Android strategy. Some of the below-mentioned choices and functionalities might already be present on some smartphones made by other manufacturers that run Android. The scope of this article would be violated by considering the entire ecosystem.
But because Google makes a lot of features available to all other manufacturers (and even makes some mandatory), features that are introduced to Google phones first benefit the whole Android market.
If you’ve been using an Android phone for a long, the new iPhone lock screen Apple unveiled earlier this year at WWDC should seem recognizable to you. The lock screen widget addition option was made available by the Cupertino corporation, along with a plethora of other opulent customization choices. We’re going to concentrate on the first option here because Android used to enable lock screen widgets. It was possible to add widgets of your choice to the lock screen up until version 4.4 (KitKat).
With a quick swipe to the right, you could either add a widget to its panel or replace the clock at the top of the screen. However, the concept has never had many practical applications and has always been somewhat gimmicky. In any case, Samsung persisted with this feature and continues to provide lock screen widgets on its Android skin One UI.
Although you may be perplexed as to why Google would revive a feature that it abandoned a long time ago, this wouldn’t be the first time Apple had given an Android feature that had been dormant for some time fresh life.
The same thing occurred when iOS first started to support widgets, with Google unexpectedly showing renewed interest in the idea. Following Apple’s lead, Google entirely rebuilt its app widgets and changed how widgets on Android 12 functioned.
Speaking of widgets, owing to Apple, Google may have discovered a fresh interest in the idea and added some desperately needed improvements to the core mechanics, but there is still more we want. The clever idea of stacked widgets, which lets you put many widgets in the same spot on your home screen, was introduced by Apple. You can simply swipe through them to access them all.
