The first major Android 13 leak reveals a number of new features, including App Languages and a runtime permission for notifications.
Most Android users still can’t upgrade to Android 12, but the first Android 13 leak has already arrived. This week, XDA obtained screenshots of a “very early Android 13 build” from an unnamed source. The features from this early build are still in development, and as XDA notes, there’s no way to know if any of them will be present in the first Android 13 Developer Preview next year. That said, they do give us some idea of what Google is focusing on for its next major software update. App Languages is the first of four features that XDA spotted in the Android 13 leak. As XDA notes, Android has long offered a universal language feature that automatically applies across the entire device. Apps can also feature specific language settings, but very few actually do. Therefore, multilingual users typically have to choose a single language to use across all of their apps.
