Android 14: ESSENTIAL features you NEED to know!

Are Quick settings still the same shitty tiles from previous versions?

All seems good and all. Google pixel 4a5g is offering android 14. But i feel as alot of these new features are just more drain to the battery. Think im gonna hold off.

You mentioned the "app" being updated on predictive back feature in Developer options. What app are you specifically talking about? Thanks

Anyone having battery issues with Android 14 on their Pixel 7? On Android 13, I'd usually get 5 hours of Screen On Time. Since Android 14, I've been getting 3 hours. I don't always have bluetooth and wifi/data on but my Pixel 7's battery has been draining relatively quickly

those navigation guides are annoying.

Where do I find the settings for the Lock screen toggles? I've a Google home shortcut on there, and it's annoying as hell.

That's a big pile of nothing. I could think of 10 improvements and fixes that would be better.

Now i hope they fix their touch sensor firmware soon ...

The press and hold requirement for lockscreen shortcuts is waay too slow imo, wish you could turn it off

How did this warrant a new android version?? Seems more appropriate to label this as an android 13 patch (although android 13 was kinda just an android 12 patch lol)

FOR ME AFTER ANDROID 12 ALL THE VERSIONS ARE THE SAME NOW

video doesn't explain how to navigate thé settings.

I'm stupid, let me get this straight...

I have a Motorola Edge 30 with Android 13, my home screen and lock screen's wallpapers are basically pink images. The theme I can apply from the Motorola settings (there is NO "Themes App", like I encountered in my Xiaomi phone) chooses the colour of everything based on any colour I want (pink, because I love this colour), or I can pick the colour from the wallpaper.

So, choosing from the wallpapers, my phone app (Google phone, the stock app) is pink, my messages app (Google messages, the stock app) is pink, my calculator (stock app) is pink, my buttons are pink, and even my Chrome tabs are pink, and I REALLY love this.

Will tI be able to choose the colour basing on the wallpaper applied, with this Android update?

I don't want to lose my pink...!

I don't find the need for any of this

Finally, 8 days after release I got Android 14. Thanks for this video, I'm glad I saved it.

I can't listen to his accent... "Android Foht-teen".

Yeah android 14 is cool and all but I’m here waiting for the 16,17,18 and 21 for the dragon ball reference

These are essential though?

When does this shit actually get released? I keep checking for an update but it won't show it. Says it's already been released, but also that it hasn't on Google

Fot My pixel 5a I guess this is the last. Will it get android 15?

Totally unamazing, I'm sure version upgrades get worse every year.

What do you mean by Auto confirm pin?

You've been able to set a passcode with a pin on all phones

The back swipe preview doesn't work ? I get a message saying I need to do other things that I don't understand 😢

let's make android 14 boring again

I wish you could center the clock in the lock and home screens like in Android 11 and before.

I updated yesterday and I can't seem to find the Roaming toggle anymore

Is there any major update in the backend? Or is it mostly just appearance updates in the UI? If it's the former I think I can use my current phone on android 13 for another year easily

Will i get android 14 on my REVVL V+ 5G android 12 phone?

So sad Google is only starting to catch up with customization option available to root/ROM users from a decade ago.

YO THE DRAG AND DROP THO

I am using the Google pixel experience custom rom on my Samsung galaxy S9 Plus and I have about 90% of the features already still in Android 13 Plus edition 😂

Auto confirmation,
Split screen
was there in miui

Just noticed that notification volume and ring volume has been separated. Yay!

Android authority using an Apple watch. 😂

Interesting new Android features! My Fairphone 4 just recently received Android 13 earlier this week.
I really hope Google huuries up and pushes Android 14 Source code out to many manufacturers so they can deliver updates!

i love how these ""essential"" "features" mostly consist of animations and slight tweaks...

Why do you say predictive back is a strange addition??

Looks like no longer I have to switch through the wallpapers until monet picks up that monochrome color palette I want xD

What is the media player on pixel phones I have 6A ?

pixel phone is so weak, we can't play music smoothly( it is delayed after the first music ended). and we can't play video as music or play continuedly.

Am I the only one who still didn't get the cinematic wallpaper option even though I updated my phone to Android 14 😶😶😶😶😶

Underwhelming..

You didn't mention Better Hearing Aid Support in it. How come?

Might just be placebo, but my 6a feels a decent amount smoother after updating, and it was already good to begin with.

i just updated my pixel 6 pro it's amazing Google still care about it's older phones

I'm not desperate for it but nice QOL changes here!

Apart from drag & drop text, all others look like CSS updates. Many of these were already on custom ROMs since android I

A bunch of cosmetic changes. This shouldn't be even called Android 13.1 Not to mention that Google calls it Android 14

What happened to the AI wallpapers that were supposed to be included? Can't find them anywhere...
