However, Google is already working on the next big mobile OS update, Android 13. Today, two separate reports have some Android 13 leaks that could reveal possible new features in the OS.

In addition,XDA-Developershas posted evidence of some more Android 13 features. They include a new runtime permission for notifications that may allow Android 13 users to disable notifications on specific apps. If accurate, this could go a long way in eliminating the tons of notifications Android phone users get every day.
The article also talks about a new feature called “TARE” (The Android Resource Economy) that could help apps better use battery resources. The OS update could also offer ways to change the lock screen layout. The report also seems to confirm anearlier story fromAndroid Police, which reported Android 13 could support switching languages inside each Android app.
It’s important to note that all of these Android 13 leaks have yet to be confirmed by Google. It’s also more than possible that these features may not make the cut into the final version of the OS. As such, you should take all these reports with a big grain of salt until Google officially reveals Android 13 in 2022.
