After a couple of developer previews earlier this year, Google has now finally released the first public beta version of its upcoming Android 13 OS for Pixel owners. The move is in line with Google's roadmap for Android 13 and comes just days before the Google I/O 2022 event, starting on May 11, where it will further detail its plans for the upcoming Android version. Let's take a look at the details below.

Google recently took to an official blog post to announce the launch of the first public beta version of Android 13. While the public beta version includes all the new features of Android 13's previous developer previews, it brings a few more new features and changes for the final users who are focused on increasing their privacy and security when using Android.

Android 13 Beta 1 includes features like the new iOS-like photo picker from Android 13 DP 1 and the per-app messaging permission and language support feature, both of which were added with the second developer preview. There is also support for features specified for tablets and foldable devices.

To further improve the privacy and security of Android 13, Google has added more granular media file access permissions for apps. Previously, apps only needed access to the external storage on a user's device to get their hands on their photos, videos, and audio files.
