After the I/O 2023, Google rolled out Android 14 Beta 2 for Pixel smartphones. Features and changes that were not mentioned in the changelog are discovered by Mishaal Rahman. He discovered a significantly overhauled keyboard shortcuts menu in Android 14 Beta 2.
Through his Twitter post, Mishaal shared all the new physical keyboard shortcuts that arrived with Android 14’s Beta 2 update. Meanwhile, it’s worth mentioning that this redesigned menu is only accessible on large-screen devices running Android 14.
Devices running Android 14 Beta 2 got minor tweaked in the System Settings, replacing the Physical Keyboard tab from Languages & Input to System >> Keyboard section. The Android 14 is likely to go official by August 2023, and we believe Samsung may not skip including this feature in One UI 6.
