This year\u2019s major Android update, Android 13, is officially releasing today for Google\u2019s Pixel phones, the search giant has announced<\/a>. The annual update is getting an official release a little earlier than usual, following Android 12\u2019s release last October<\/a> and Android 11\u2019s release<\/a> in September 2020. <\/p>\n

The list of updates arriving with this year\u2019s version of Android is likely to be familiar if you\u2019ve been keeping up with Android<\/a> 13\u2019s<\/a> beta<\/a> releases<\/a>. There\u2019s the ability to customize non-Google app icons to match your homescreen wallpaper that we saw in Android 13\u2019s first developer preview<\/a>, a new permission<\/a> to cut down on notification spam, and a new option to limit which of your photos and videos an app can access. <\/p>\n

Back in January, we wrote that Google planned to spend this year catching up with Apple\u2019s ecosystem integrations<\/a>, and there\u2019s more evidence of this in Android 13\u2019s official release. The update includes support for spatial audio with head tracking<\/a>, which is designed to make sounds appear as though they\u2019re coming from a fixed point in space when you move your head while wearing compatible headphones, similar to a feature Apple offers for its AirPods<\/a>. Today\u2019s post doesn\u2019t say exactly which headphones this will work with, but Google previously announced it would be updating its Pixel Buds Pro<\/a> to offer support for spatial audio. <\/p>\n

Secondly, there\u2019s the ability to stream messages from apps including Google Messages directly to a Chromebook, similar to iMessage on the Mac. It\u2019s another feature that Google detailed in January<\/a>. As well as its own Messages app, one of Google\u2019s promotional assets also shows this working with the messaging app Signal, and the company says the feature will work with \u201cmany of your other favorite messaging apps.\u201d The update also includes a feature that lets you copy content from an Android phone to be pasted on an Android tablet and vice versa. <\/p>\n

Other Android 13 features include the ability to set languages on a per-app basis, a redesigned media player that adjusts its look based on what you\u2019re listening to, support for Bluetooth Low Energy for better sound quality at lower bitrates and reduced latency, improved multitasking on large-screen devices with drag and drop support for multitasking, and better palm rejection when using styluses.<\/p>\n

On this support page<\/a>, Google broke down which Pixels are getting the Android 13 update today (the Pixel 4, 5, and 6 families of devices), as well as a long list of fixes it includes. A developer page where you can download the images<\/a> before the update is pushed to your device automatically also notes that upgrading to Android 13, at least with a factory image, is a one-way trip \u2014 a bootloader update included with it means you won\u2019t be able to flash back to Android 12. <\/p>\n

For developers or anyone who was in the Android 13 beta, there\u2019s a blog post with more information for you here<\/a>. Everyone in the beta will get the Android 13 final release, and then stay enrolled to receive beta updates for upcoming Feature Drops. If you\u2019d rather back out and stick to final release software, then you can head to the Android Beta site<\/a> and opt-out now, without any need to wipe your device first.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready to install Android 13 on your Pixel phone, the OTA images are available here<\/a>, or you can use the web-based Android Flash Tool<\/a> to upgrade compatible devices.<\/p>\n

The Android update will be coming to devices from other manufacturers including Samsung, Oppo, OnePlus, HMD, Motorola, Realme, Sony, Xiaomi, and Asus \u201clater this year,\u201d Google\u2019s Sameer Samat writes in today\u2019s announcement post. For more details on the changes arriving in the update, check out Google\u2019s post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update 2:43PM ET: <\/strong><\/em>Added details on device support, information for participants in the beta program, and a note about the bootloader increment that can prevent rolling back from Android 13 to Android 12.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
