Android 12

Post by dualstow » Tue Nov 09, 2021 4:40 pm

Anyone using it?

I was annoyed that my button to toggle mobile data was taken away (or rather hidden under the menu of another button), but there are some pretty amazing features that may not come to iOS anytime soon.

So far-

Live Caption

App Pinning

App Pausing

Guest Users

- more to come.
These are mostly for peace and privacy. Some are not readily apparent on a Samsung phone until you go through some extra steps, and some are only on Google phones, like the Pixel.

Perhaps most noteworthy, though, is the addition of a new Android-12-specific element called Private Compute Core. It's one of those things that's getting lost in the shuffle of Android 12's more tangible features, understandably, but it's well worth the space in your noggin to ponder. In short, Private Compute Core is a new system-level partition built into Android that'll let certain types of computing happen in a completely isolated environment — without ever leaving your device or being at risk of any exposure to this creepy, crawly ol' internet of ours.
