Title: Android 12 Second Beta
description: Android 12-second beta is now available on supported devices, including Google Pixel smartphones. What's in the update? The beta update introduces several privacy features that were previously announced at the Google I / O conference. In addition, the user interface and the overall design update look visually pleasing with the new Android 12 update. We were able to find out that Google has introduced a privacy panel that allows you to see what information has been accessed with which applications on your smartphone. For example, apps that asked for your location and every time they ask you for a reason can now be displayed in the privacy dashboard.
This is a very interesting solution that many people will definitely use.
What can you gain? With the Android 12 update, you can now see all the apps that are accessing your clipboard data unnecessarily. Additionally, Google has now introduced dedicated microphone switches that allow you to disable any microphone or camera access app. The easily accessible "Fast Switch" option is now available on Android 12, which also lets you see which app is actively recording audio or video in the status bar.
How to access the panel?
The privacy panel on Android 12 can be accessed by going to the Settings> Privacy app.
