Toplist
These are the top 10 features we want to see in Android 14
Better desktop mode
For some time now, Mountain View has been working on creating a desktop mode or PC mode for Android, but it has never been formally launched. This was discovered once more in the initial Android 13 update for the Google Pixel, and it is a really helpful feature.
With the present strength of modern phones, we could execute practically any app as if it were a complete computer, thus arriving at your desk and leaving the mobile in a dock to start working with it would be a great advancement in productivity.
Enhanced connectivity between mobile devices and PCs
Although not natively supported, content sharing between a PC and a mobile device is conceivable. As an illustration, I typically use Microsoft Edge or Telegram when I wish to transmit a link from my phone. However, Apple device owners have it simpler. This helps me during work.
In this sense, a solution would necessitate an unlikely collaboration between Microsoft and Google. However, many of us would find it helpful to have a native feature in both operating systems. This would make it simpler to share links, copy text, paste it, send pictures and videos, transfer files, and other tasks. We have alternatives because Android has solutions for many needs, but nothing compares to having a native option.
New and unified Widget design
Since I run Android 13, widgets are present on some of my home screens since I find them to be very useful. Checking the most recent emails, weather, and photographs from my collection directly from your desktop is a pleasure. All of Google’s apps should acquire more of these new widgets and continue to receive support for them.
Additionally, providing several permutations of these will enhance customization on Android. They would gain importance if they continued along the present design lines, and even manufacturers and developers would be inspired to make improvements. Nothing is more enjoyable than viewing a beautiful widget without having to launch an application.
App drawer
Being able to see a list of all the apps we have installed on our phone is incredibly helpful. But for me, the app drawer on Android is worthless. I can quickly start any app I’m looking for using the search feature. So I never ever have to go through the endless app drawer.
The drawer-opening button, which we believed to be dead, has returned. If I had my way, I would remove the app drawer totally. Because I think that no one needs it at this time. Contrarily, a home screen arranged in folders with all the apps I adore is the reason I’ve been using MIUI for so long. Again, I could use a launcher, but I prefer the one that comes with my phone by default.
Dynamic Island
The dynamic island is the latest iPhone feature that almost everyone was unprepared for. Google may adapt this function and show notifications and other information in the area that the front cameras occupy on the screen. This functionality might be part of the operating system and function natively if several developers have created an app for it.
Better camera in third-party apps
We want Google to find a solution to deliver security updates to Android devices through Google Play Services. This way we will guarantee that old smartphones will keep getting security patches for a long period of time. After being out of support from Android manufacturers.
These are my personal wishes for Android 14. Thus there will be some things on this list that we will not agree on. However, there are the features that I’m excited to see in the future Android. Soon, we’ll discover what it has in store for us.
