This change has absolutely no effect on usability, but it will certainly help improve visibility for those who have made the switch from iOS or come from another Android device that might use an alternate navigation method. Google seems to be mimicking the iOS navigation bar, which would make a lot of sense given that Apple has helped lead gesture-based navigation on smartphones since the introduction of the iPhone X.

The update sees the navigation “pill” get thicker and wider. The previous three-button and two-button navigation methods have steadily been sidelined as Google fully focuses on gestures with all new devices. This is actually the first change to the navbar since it was first introduced back in Android 10. Android 13 Beta 3: In-display fingerprint setup gets updated enrollment UIĪlthough a minor cosmetic change, the gesture navigation bar in Android 13 Beta 3 has been updated to be subtly bolder and more prominent than it has been previously.Unfortunately, it’s too early to tell if it will help those currently suffering from fingerprint issues on the Pixel 6 series.

Making this change to the fingerprint enrollment section within Android 13 could have major benefits for the upcoming Pixel 7 series and could also help those with problems with their existing Pixel 6 series handset and ensure better unlock times when using the new unlock method. In Android 12, a text prompt alongside guide brackets are currently used, which are actually not entirely visible when pressing your finger on-screen. When adding a new fingerprint within Android 13, you get more obvious visual cues to help you better register your finger and add the extremities or edges.

The fingerprint setup or enrollment UI has been slightly adjusted in Android 13 Beta 3 to better accommodate devices with in-display scanners. This could certainly save time compared to needing to open each of these apps individually and jump into a search bar or enter a search field. Enter a query, and you can choose an individual quick action to search on Google, YouTube, Maps, the Play Store, or on-device Settings. There are a number of other neat tweaks here that might help you as you can quickly search on a number of pre-installed apps right from the Pixel Launcher search bar. That’s not all as it even includes some neat new tricks such as the ability to search the web for any of your queries as well as scouring your on-device storage. In Android 13 Beta 3, this is back and fully functional.

One major frustration in the previous Android 13 Beta was the removal of the universal device search. Universal device search returns and adds web search So, while you might not initially notice anything, you may see more apps start to utilize some of the core functions previously added throughout the Android 13 Developer Preview and Beta process.

What’s more, more apps will now hit the Alpha and Beta channels in preparation for the stable Android 13 release. Effectively this means that Android app developers can start final compatibility testing for apps, SDKs, and libraries. Platform Stability means that Android 13 Beta 3 includes finalized system behaviors and APIs. This is not exactly user-facing, but it will affect most Pixel and Android owners in the coming months when Android 13 arrives in a stable fashion.
