Google launched the latest version of its mobile operating system on Monday, and it’s already rolling out to the first (Pixel) devices. That said, there are still a number of Android 13 features that are still coming, and here’s when you can expect them.<\/p>\n

Security & privacy settings <\/h2>\n

The Pixel 6 introduced a new Security Hub last year that then arrived on older Google phones. At I\/O 2022 in May, the company detailed how Security would be combined with the existing page for Privacy. <\/p>\n

This is meant to provide a \u201csimple, color-coded way to understand your safety status and will offer clear and actionable guidance to improve it.\u201d It starts with a prominent overview section and button to take actions like \u201cScan device\u201d (with Play Protect) or \u201cUninstall\u201d apps.<\/p>\n

\n

The page will be anchored by new action cards that notify you of critical steps you should take to address any safety risks. In addition to notifications to warn you about issues, we’ll also provide timely recommendations on how to enhance your privacy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Next are dropdowns for App security, Device lock, Google Security Checkup, Find My Device, and more that can be expanded to see other preferences. We’ve already seen Samsung’s version of this, but this week’s Android 13 update for Pixel phones still has \u201cSecurity\u201d and \u201cPrivacy\u201d as separate sections. Google told us on Monday that the unified Security & privacy settings page is coming \u201clater this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unified Pixel Launcher search<\/h2>\n

On Pixel phones, one of Android 13’s best features is unified device and web search where the bar at the bottom of your homescreen is the same as the field at the top of the app drawer. The latter is visually quite old, and users on the Android 13 Beta have been using this experience for the past several months now.<\/p>\n

However, upon updating to the stable release, unified Pixel Launcher search disappeared. Google told us earlier this week that the disappearance will be resolved in an \u201cupcoming release.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cross-device integrations<\/h2>\n

The next set of Android 13 features that have yet to launch are cross-device integrations. Starting with “message app streaming<\/strong>\u201d The UI of Google Messages and other similar communication apps (Signal is shown below) will be streamed to your Chromebook. On ChromeOS, you’ll receive a notification and tapping \u201cReply\u201d opens a phone-sized window to type out your message and see past history, just like on your mobile. Both devices must be in Bluetooth range of each other.<\/p>\n

We previewed an early version of this feature and dived into how it works back in February, and Google tells us to expect availability \u201clater this year.\u201d <\/p>\n
