I’ve been using the Android 14 Beta for a while now so nothing really new to me for now, but what I liked since the beta is that the battery life got better.

The ability to give apps permissions on a per-file basis is also cool, although it made some apps unusable probably because they aren’t supporting that right now (but maybe that changed or will change soon now that the stable release is out).

So what are the changes you noticed the most and which ones do you like or hate so far?

      I also haven’t noticed much. I am surprised with how little the platform updates change from the users perspective. Everything major has been mostly app updates

      Regular P7 here, and yeah, I noticed the camera update too which actually annoyed me a bit at first. I do like how they moved the camera and video buttons from the slidey menu down to dedicated toggles at the bottom though, but I was on a photo spree yesterday and the amount of times I clicked the photo button instead of the shutter button is astounding.

      Also I have noticed some apps are a lot slower now. I was reading a long Wikipedia page yesterday and about halfway through it started jittering a lot and would take a few seconds to scroll after I actually scrolled, which isn’t something that was happening in even longer pages than that one before the update

      Is there any good reason why they flipped the camera switcher and photo library around? I’ve been constantly hitting the camera switcher by accident since the update to the camera app. Minor gripe, but I can’t see the point of the switch.
