🇬🇧 Android 12 QPR3 will make it much easier to find the Pixel Battery widget Previously, the Battery widget was found under “Settings Services” in that main list with the same gear icon as “Settings”. But now it has been placed under the "Battery" section…
Android 13 Beta 2: Updated battery widget.
Earlier in Android 12QPR3 Beta 3 it was added a new icon and section name. Now the information about the charge of the phone (if there are no connected devices) completely occupies the entire area of the widget. I was also initially able to reduce the size of the widget (on the screenshot), but now I can not do this.
Also, the widget preview now shows headphone icons as Pixel Buds Pro.

Android 12 QPR3 will have a new setting to "always show icon when in vibrate mode" With the release of Android 12 on Pixel devices, the vibration mode icon disappeared from the status bar (but you could still see it when the QS panel was open). In late March…
Android 13 Beta 2: New switch "Always show icon when in vibrate mode".
This switch first appeared in Android 12 QPR3 Beta 3, and not surprisingly, it now appeared in 13 beta 2, since it was originally supposed to be left only for Android 13.
It is worth noting that the vibration icon is still not visible on the lock screen.

Android 13 will introduce a predictive back gesture.
This feature will let users preview the destination or other result of a back gesture before they fully complete it, allowing them to decide whether to continue or stay in the current view.
For example, using a back gesture can display an animated preview of the Home screen behind your app (demonstrated in the video).
Starting with the Android 13 general availability release, you should be able to test this animation by enabling a developer option (Predictive back animations).
Supporting the predictive back gesture requires updating your app, using the OnBackPressedCallback AppCompat 1.6.0-alpha03 (AndroidX) or higher API, or using the new OnBackInvokedCallback platform API.

We could first see this animation at the Material You announcement at Google I/O 2021.

Android 13 will have a unified Security & Privacy settings
At #GoogleIO, the company announced a unified Security & Privacy settings page. It will consolidate all privacy and security settings in one place, and also contains a color indicator of the user's security status and recommendations on how to improve security.
The Security settings page on Pixel devices already has a color-coded security status indicator and provides recommendations, but does not include privacy settings.
The new Security & Privacy settings page is contained within the PermissionController APK delivered through the PermissionController module.
You can activate this page (but you shouldn't!) with a command, but the actual page is not accessible in Beta 2 due to a missing privileged permission.
