Because this is the final beta, that means that there is not a whole lot of new features here in this beta. This is mostly bug fixing, and continuing to finalize APIs. Developers can now get their apps ready for Android 13 and start publishing those updates on the Google play Store. Google says that for SDK, library, tools, and game engine developers, it is important to release your compatible updates as soon as possible. Otherwise they could be blocked until they receive your updates. Google is also reminding developers about a few big features in Android 13 that they need to test out. That includes the new runtime permission for notifications. As well as the Clipboard preview and JobScheduler Prefetch.
You can still try Android 13 Beta
Even though this is the final beta, you can still enroll in the Beta Program and try out Android 13 ahead of the final release in a few weeks. You can enroll your Pixel device here. And once the final release is out, you’ll get an OTA update to move from the beta to the stable release. Typically, the new version of Android will launch the Tuesday after Labor Day in September. And it looks like that might be the case this year. Last year was an outlier, as it actually launched in October, just a couple of weeks ahead of the Pixel 6 launch.
