But TThere are still a few months left for Android 14 to start reaching users Of the devices compatible with this new iteration of the Google operating system, some time ago we began to know about the news that will come with it. This flow of information began to become official in February, when the first developer preview was published, it was updated (in addition to expanding its scope) when Beta 1 was released, and it was completed (until now, of course) with Beta 2. , published by Google last week, in the context of Google I/O 2023.
We are still, however, in a very interesting period of the gestation of Android 14, since during the first months, and at least until June, Google puts focus on adding and testing new features, so it still has plenty of room to grow in this regard. This will end at some point, initially in June, when the focus shifts to the reliability and stability of the system, at which time the news will fade into the background, since the goal from that point on is for the operating system to arrive as soon as possible. polished as possible to its users.
Future betas will therefore show us a fairly large portion, practically total, of what Android 14 will be like and what it will offer us, but until then we will always have the advances and leaks that reach us through third parties, an information channel that has become essential in this sector, although on occasions (this is not the case at hand, I clarify) it becomes a headache for the companies indicated by the themselves.
Hands-on: I finally got this fully working, so here’s a full demo of Android 14’s new partial screen recording feature.
This feature lets you record a single app without any System UI elements or notifications appearing in the video!

Well, we have a new preview of what awaits us in the next version of Android. According to Has published Mishaal Rahman, a freelance journalist specializing in this platform, Android 14 will offer more control over screen recordingsa function that is increasingly used, since it allows users to quickly and conveniently share everything from guides on how to perform a certain operation to saving the fragment of a video call that we have had, among many other possibilities.
Until now, Android allows you to turn off the sound and not show the touches we make on the screen, but all the content that is displayed on the screen is always recorded, including notifications, something that compromises privacy when we share a video in which show some of them. This is going to change, since Android 14 will allow you to limit screen recording to a single app. In this way, if we start a screen recording and, during it, a notification is displayed, it will not be captured in the video, which will prevent us from having to start the recording again, either consciously or accidentally. , share the video with that notification. This, without a doubt, represents a great advance in terms of privacy.
