UI tweaks to home controls
The modified Home Controls from Android 14 DP2 are now available in 13 QPR3 Beta 1. The tiles are thinner and more compact, and your home’s name appears higher up on the screen. As a consequence, when you launch a device, you now see the Google Home/app logo and name at the top. In addition, an “Open app” shortcut has been added to the overflow menu.
Pixel display color profiles significantly tweaked
Fullscreen wallpaper preview
Battery percentage returns
The battery percentage is back in the top-right corner when you swipe down (once) for notifications.
