App Languages

A recent report (via AndroidPolice) revealed that Google will introduce a useful feature that will let users change the language of a specific app, which will keep the system language unchanged. In the Android 13 build, this new “App Languages” setting is accessible through Settings > System > Languages & input.

Runtime Permission for Notifications

Android 13 is expected to finally destroy interrupting and spam notifications for users with the addition of a new runtime permission “POST_NOTIFICATIONS” for notifications. As result, Google could make notifications functionality an opt-in feature on its next major Android OS.

• Note: XDA disclosed that the settings interface for Runtime Permission for Notifications feature does not fully work yet.

TARE: The Android Resource Economy

In addition to the two above-mentioned features, Google’s likely to bring a feature namely TARE (The Android Resource Economy). This feature usually focuses on energy-use management on the device, however, it’s working through AlarmManager and JobScheduler policies.

Lock Screen Clock Layouts

The Android 13 OS seems to be adding useful tool lock screen settings to adjust the layout of the clock on the lock screen. With the Android 12, Google adjusted the lockscreen clock in two lines in case of nil unchecked notifications.
