Google’s annual developer conference, Google I/O, is back this year after missing last year due to the pandemic. The event is being held virtually and live between May 18 – May 20. Here is a summary of the announcements the tech giant made in yesterday’s opening keynote address:
Android redesigned: Android 12 received a major design overhaul to the user interface. The company is calling the new design style “Material You” and it gives users more personalised control on the design elements that make up their phone screen. Android 12 will also have a privacy dashboard that gives users an overview of apps and features collecting data. The Beta version is out and the official release will roll out later this year.
