Google launched the second beta of Android 12 showing some of the new dynamics that this version promises.
For example, we can finally see all the features brought by the new privacy panel. In this panel, Google promises to include all the details that users should keep track of to protect their security and privacy.
The Android 12 privacy panel
The Google team promised that Android 12 would have a combination of privacy-focused features. And at last with the second public beta, we can see the dynamics proposed by this new security panel.
As you see in the image, this panel gives priority to the Camera, Location, and Microphone. This will allow the user with a simple glance to know if any of the apps installed on the mobile is using some of these permissions.
And if we open each of these permissions, it will show in a chronology how the apps have used them in the last 24 hours. And of course, it provides options to deny these types of permissions from the settings. A dynamic that is repeated with the rest of the permissions that applications may require.
And all this system is complemented with additional options, for example, the possibility of blocking the microphone and camera throughout the system. Automatic visual alerts will also be activated when apps are detected using the microphone, camera, or accessing clipboard content.
Another detail we found in this second beta of Android 12 has to do with a new dynamic for connections. When we go to the shortcuts to change the WiFi connection or activate the data, a pop-up window will open to make the changes from the same main page, without having to go to the System Settings.
And if our current connection presents us with problems, we can go directly to Settings to use the new control to reset WiFi connections.
