Android 14 brings new Dynamic Back Arrow and it looks good

Yesterday, Google dropped the first public beta of the Android 14 operating system, which comes with the new Dynamic Back Arrow. The company has also mentioned this tweak in its blog post calling it the “New back arrow,” introducing a more optimized user interface.

Android 14 Beta 1 turns the conventional back arrow into a new Dynamic one. The arrow is now placed inside a cylindrical shape with circular edges on all sides, making it more prominent. It’s also expected that this change will get further advancements like a predictive back gesture.

With the Android 14 Beta, the US tech giant brought a more prominent back arrow to the gesture navigation experience, which appears while interacting with your app to help improve back gesture understanding and usefulness. Compared to the Android 13’s back arrow, the new addition in Android 14 looks good.

The company has also made it Dynamic, fueling the Material You capabilities into the back arrow, providing even more optimized design across the user interface. Similar to Color Palette and Themed App Icons, the new back arrow now follows the dynamic color combination.

Apart from this new back arrow, the Android 14 comes with a number of minor tweaks across the user interface. Notably, the new OS is heavily inspired by One UI features such as Cloned apps, and auto PIN confirmation among others.

For devs, the Android 14 Beta adds new graphics features that you can use to make their app really stand out. Besides, it also enhances per-app language preferences, allowing for dynamic customization of the set of languages displayed in the Android Settings per-app language list.
