Everything you Need to Know About Android 12

Android 12 has been praised heavily by users from all over the world and many consider it to be the biggest change since Android Lollipop. Apart from the famous visual changes, the OS has had some great under-the-hood developments that many experts believe will give it quality of life improvements that will matter for a long time in the future.

These are the biggest changes to Android 12 that you need to be aware of:

Material You

One of the most significant changes to Android 12 from previous iterations to this one has been Material You. It's a major design overhaul that affects every single aspect of the look and feel off Android. App developers will have to ensure that they follow through with this new design change and implement it in their own app development cycle.  

The change is mainly aesthetic but it's a part of Google's design philosophy that developers will be required to follow. It changes the theme depending on the wallpaper the user has set and sets it across the user interface.

Receive Rich Content

Rich content insertion has been one of the most significant changes to Android 12 from a core feature standpoint. It allows users to insert rich content, i.e., images fairly easily using a variety of simple methods including copy-paste.

This has been achieved using a unified API that's capable of taking in content from a variety of sources. Clipboard, drag and drop, keyboard insertion is possible using the new Rich Content Insertion system. It can be fairly productive for a variety of solutions and can reduce numerous input steps in certain flows.

AppSearch

AppSearch has been one of the most welcomed features on Android 12. Android has always had a strong search engine but they've expanded on the design over time to add context-sensitive searches. For example, previously it allowed users to find WiFi switch directly rather than having to go through the steps from the network tab.

This exact feature has been expanded to add local search capabilities for all apps. You'll be able to find internal features of various apps, decreasing the need for extra input from the user.
