Android 12
Highlights

PERSONAL

Our most personal OS yet.

Android 12 is our most personal OS ever, featuring dynamic color capabilities that can transform your experience based on your wallpaper and responsive motion that responds to your touch. Even the widgets have been given a facelift, with your favorite people always available right there on your home screen. And with a more spacious redesign, color contrast optimizations and new features to help those with low vision, Android 12 is designed to be accessible for even more users.

MATERIAL YOU

A boundary-pushing redesign.

Android 12 rethinks the entire user interface, from shapes, light and motion, to customizable system colors that can be adapted to match you. Redesigned to be more spacious and comfortable, it’s our most expressive, dynamic and personal OS ever.

DYNAMIC COLOR

Color reimagined.

Change your wallpaper on your Pixel and your entire Android 12 experience changes to match. Using advanced color extraction algorithms you can easily personalize the look and feel of your entire phone, including notifications, settings, widgets and even select apps.

RESPONSIVE MOTION

A smoother, more responsive UI.

The UI feels alive with every tap, swipe and scroll—responding quickly and expressively with smooth motion and animations. Android 12 delivers improved system performance so your device can work in perfect harmony with you.

CONVERSATION WIDGETS

Your favorite people have a new home.

An all-new conversation widget puts the conversations with the people you care about front-and-center on your home screen so you never miss a chat from your loved ones. You can even see missed calls, birthdays and more at a glance.

ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS

Built for accessibility.

Android 12 is designed to be even more accessible with new visibility features, including:

Area magnification

A new window magnifier lets you zoom in on a part of your screen without having to lose context on the rest of the screen content.

Private by design so you’re in control.

Android 12 is designed for your safety. With new easy-to-use, powerful privacy features, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you have control over who can see your data and when.

MIC & CAMERA INDICATORS AND TOGGLES

Stronger mic and camera access controls.

With Android 12, you can see when an app is using your microphone or camera thanks to a new indicator in your phone’s status bar. And if you don’t want any apps to access your microphone or camera, you can completely disable those sensors using two new toggles in quick settings. Simply flip the switch.

APPROXIMATE LOCATION PERMISSIONS

Keep your precise location private.

While some apps need precise location information for tasks like turn-by-turn navigation, many other apps only need your approximate location to be helpful. With Android 12, you can choose between giving apps access to your precise location or an approximate location instead.

PRIVACY DASHBOARD

Your privacy permissions at a glance.

Privacy dashboard gives you a clear and comprehensive view of when apps access your location, camera or mic over the past 24 hours. If you see anything that you’re not comfortable with, you can manage permissions right from the dashboard.

PRIVATE COMPUTE CORE

Protect sensitive data in the Private Compute Core.

Powerful Android features like Live Caption and Now Playing are enabled by continuous streams of data like audio from your apps, sounds nearby, or the content on your screen. But this data can be highly sensitive and you might not want it to leave your phone.

It’s essential that we build these features in a privacy-preserving way, so we built Private Compute Core. It’s a first-of-its-kind secure mobile environment that is isolated from the rest of the operating system and your apps. Any information processed in Private Compute Core requires explicit user action before it can be shared with Google or any app or service. And like the rest of Android, the protections in Private Compute Core are open source and fully inspectable and verifiable by the security community.

Distribution dashboard

Thank you for your patience! We’re working to improve the insights we provide to you about the Android ecosystem and the ways we’re accelerating updates to Android devices, such as through Project Treble, the Android Beta program, security updates and more.

For more robust data to help you manage your app’s targeting and understand the characteristics of your users’ devices, we recommend using the app stats available to you in Play Console.

This page provides information about the relative number of devices that share a certain characteristic, such as screen size and density. Each snapshot of data represents all of the active devices during a 7-day period ending on November 26, 2021.

If you want to see statistics just for the devices on which users are running your app, you can use the Google Play Console. This may help you choose which device profiles to optimize.

Vulkan version

This section provides data about the relative number of devices that support a particular version of Vulkan. Devices that lack Vulkan support are represented by None. Note that support for one particular version of Vulkan also implies support for any lower version (for example, support for version 1.1 also implies support for 1.0.3).

To declare which version of Vulkan your application requires, you should create a element defining android.hardware.vulkan.version . See FEATURE_VULKAN_HARDWARE_VERSION for more details on the hardware version. You can also use android.hardware.vulkan.level to declare a required Vulkan feature level. See FEATURE_VULKAN_HARDWARE_LEVEL for more details on the feature level.

Vulkan Version	Distribution
None	29.0%
Vulkan 1.0.3	17.0%
Vulkan 1.1	54.0%

Data collected during a 7-day period ending on November 26, 2021.

OpenGL ES version

This section provides data about the relative number of devices that support a particular version of OpenGL ES. Note that support for one particular version of OpenGL ES also implies support for any lower version (for example, support for version 2.0 also implies support for 1.1).

To declare which version of OpenGL ES your application requires, you should use the android:glEsVersion attribute of the element. You can also use the element to declare the GL compression formats that your application uses.

OpenGL ES Version	Distribution
GL 2.0	7.50%
GL 3.0	9.95%
GL 3.1	6.63%
GL 3.2	75.92%

Data collected during a 7-day period ending on November 26, 2021.
