The stable version of Android 12 is out now. Who can upgrade

After months of testing, Google has finally released the stable version of Android 12. Pixel owners who have not participated in the beta program will soon receive a new firmware with a massive visual update for Android, including the new Material You design.

The new concept design builds on dynamic skins based on installed wallpapers for a more cohesive look to the operating system. Material You is also used in Google apps, which recently received a corresponding update. The widgets have also taken on a new look with more shapes and styles.

Apart from the visual update, Android 12 has a special focus on privacy. The release includes a new privacy dashboard that shows apps that have access to certain user data. Particularly when they are in use or running in the background. There are also new indicators that show that the camera and microphone are currently active. Users can now revoke access to them at the system level.
