You can either use your own images to personalize them, or you can rely on Android 14's snazzy new collection of default images, first spotted by Mishaal Rahman. If you share your device with multiple people (which might very well be the case for the Pixel Tablet, for example), you need to switch between different profiles. If you first set up a six-digit PIN, the option is ticked on by default, though you can uncheck it if you prefer not to show a thief how many digits your PIN has. When you have a PIN that has six digits or more, an option becomes available in system settings under Security & privacy → Device unlock → screen lock cog, making it possible to turn on Auto-confirm unlock. Google is finally bringing this same capability to Pixel phones. Many Android phones support unlocking your device instantly when you enter the correct PIN without having to hit an extra enter button. Android 14 Beta 4 makes PIN entry slightly faster This is in line with a previous tweak in Android 14, which made the same icon switch in the volume rocker interface. Rather than a crossed out bell icon, you now see a crossed out speaker icon in the status bar when you turn on silent mode. Google loves to switch up things in the status bar at the top of your phone's screen and in the notification shade with every new Android release, and the same is true for Android 14. These are the devices that you can currently get the Android 14 Beta on, though based on our hands-on experience with them, you're better off not installing Android 14 on them until it's more stable: More phones from other manufacturers joined the beta program after Google I/O, like it has been the case for the last few Android releases. Since it launched with Android 10, it isn't guaranteed to get any update beyond Android 13 as per Google's promise of three software upgrades, and it doesn't look like it will get Android 14.Īs usually, the developer preview and initial beta builds were restricted to the Google Pixel phone lineup. On the other end of the lineup, the Google Pixel 4a without the 5G denominator isn't getting any beta releases. The recently released Google Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, and Pixel Fold are part of the beta program as of Android 14 Beta 3 for the former and Beta 4 for the last two. As for compatibility, the following Google Pixel devices are compatible with the beta program:
