Generally the most effective adjustments are the small ones. A top quality-of-life replace is coming to a future model of Pixel OS separating the amount controls for ringtones and notifications.
It’s a reasonably fundamental change, certain, however contemplating the truth that you’ll be able to already modify the amount for media and alarms individually, it is sensible to have the software cowl every thing. You possibly can silence notifications in case your group chat is sending out tons of texts whereas nonetheless letting you hear cellphone calls, for instance. Apparently, this one function has been within the works for a few yr and a half, in response to the original Google IssueTracker post asking for this change (opens in new tab). Trying by way of the thread, it appears Google didn’t actually see this request as necessary sufficient to implement shortly so the corporate took its time.
On the backside of the submit, you’ll see a remark by somebody, who presumably works at Google, stating the “requested feature will be available in a future build”. Precisely which one is unknown though 9to5Google (opens in new tab) did discover a clue within the recordsdata of Android 13 QPR3 (opens in new tab) (Quarterly Platform Launch) Beta 3. They discovered an ADB (Android Debug Bridge) command hinting on the design change. 9to5Google suggests the replace might arrive with the discharge of the steady model of “Android 13 QPR3 Beta 3”, however that is perhaps wishful considering.
Android 14 adjustments
An Android 14 launch appears extra probably, although, given the present “stage of the development cycle”. That is backed by one other discovery by Android Police (opens in new tab) the place the publication discovered the 2 sliders already enabled on an early Android 14 build (opens in new tab). And in stated construct, they found “setting the [Pixel] phone to vibrate” mutes each volumes.
The corporate’s subsequent huge occasion is Google IO 2023 (Might 10) the place we count on to get an excellent have a look at Android 14 earlier than its official launch later this summer time. Apart from getting new options, “we’re also expecting [the operating system] to bring some quality-of-life upgrades” in addition to a lift to machine safety. Maybe the slider adjustments can be part of that bundle or its reveal of the anticipated Pixel 7a cellphone.
It’s arduous to say for certain, however we’ll know quickly sufficient in a few week. Take a look at TechRadar’s latest roundup of the greatest offers for each the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Professional when you’re seeking to improve.
