These days, the Google Android development cycle follows a very consistent schedule. The first of four planned public beta versions of Android 14 was made available today after the release of two developer previews.
Since the Pixel 4a 5G (but not the Pixel 4) is the earliest Pixel device to be supported, the first beta is also the first release that anyone can install over the air.
Official support for non-Google phones is still lacking. Remember that these are beta releases for a reason. In addition, they are still primarily intended for app developers who want to test their programs against this new release. Additionally, it is for early adopters who simply can’t wait for the stable release. Things will break eventually.
Feature of the new release by Google
The majority of the new features in this beta version aren’t particularly noteworthy. However, two UI modifications directly affect users that are.
The first is a new back arrow (yeah, we have arrived at a stage in the history of mobile OS where new back arrows are essentially the most exciting thing).
As per Google, the gesture navigation experience has been improved. In addition, it includes a more prominent back arrow while interacting with an app to help improve back gesture understanding and usefulness. Your device’s theme or wallpaper will go well with this arrow.
The system share sheet will now allow developers to add their own custom actions. In addition, it will also order your sharing targets more intelligently.

Conclusion
Otherwise, there is not much new information present. Both the previously mentioned new privacy settings from Google. In addition, the per-app language options are now available.
