New back gesture arrow icon and improved Predictive back gesture are now enabled by default.
#Android14_DP2.
Android 13 QPR2 Beta1 contained a new icon for the backward gesture, which we also saw in the Google demos. It is now enabled by default.
The improved predictive back gesture between and inside apps, which we first saw working live in Developer Preview 1, is also available by default, but you still need to enable the developer option.

Media player got *again* shimmering wave effects + tapping effect.
#Android14_DP2.
Android 13 QPR2 Beta1 added a new shimmering wave effect to the player notification, which appeared after interacting with its elements. It was subsequently cut out.
In Android 14 Developer Preview 2, it was brought back again, while adding an effect like a drop of water from a pressed item.

Android 14 may allow you to create an emoji wallpaper on your Pixel.
In #Android14_DP2, a new "Emoji Wallpaper" app has been discovered under /product, which appears to be exclusive to the Pixel. They are not available by default, but when enabled through the debug flag, a new "Emoji Lab" set will appear in the wallpaper list. Clicking on it will open a page that allowed you to create new wallpapers with different emoji.
When you create a wallpaper, you can choose up to 14 emoji to be included in the custom wallpaper, choose one of the patterns: "Mosaic", "Lotus", "Stacks", "Placer", "Prism"; and choose one of the colors. It is also possible to choose a random set.
The app will save several emoji wallpapers you have created in the corresponding section, and you will have the possibility to edit them.

Pixel Launcher works on updating the app shortcuts popup window.
#Android14_DP2
Google is working on an update to the design of the window that appears when you hold down an app icon. It's now two solid containers: one for app shortcuts, the other for everything else.
In addition, the parallel bars on the right side, signaling that an object can be dragged, are gone, but the functionality itself remains. It is worth assuming that the design is not yet complete.
This change is hidden behind the developer flag

Google Files works on even more Material You redesign.
In the new iteration, dynamic colors are now applied to the page background, various components such as lists have been converted into containers with rounded corners, and the logo in the top bar has been replaced by the search bar that we are familiar with from other Google apps.
Overall, we can say that the work is still in progress. The colors still need to be adjusted, and the system navbar does not match the color of the app's navigation bar.

Google Files preps dual-pane Material You Redesign for Large Screen devices.
The redesign for phone form-factor I spotted earlier is actually part of a larger-screen app's UI revamp. The main emphasis on the 'Clean' and 'Browse' pages now is on using a two-pane layout with Activity embedding.
Other pages, such as Settings and Search, have been isolated in a container with rounded corners. You've already seen a similar solution in the upcoming Google News redesign.
