Google released the first beta version this week Androidat 13. It certainly doesn't look like an endless crowd of news, but at least one is really interesting. This is a fairly practical improvement to the clipboard. This improvement is the new clipboard overlay that Google "hiddenly" teased in the second developer preview Androidat 13, but in which she ultimately did not appear.

It is essentially an extension of the overlay for editing screenshots, which the American technology giant introduced in Androidu 11, which gives users more context about what they've copied to the clipboard and allows them to edit that content if needed. For text, this means a simple editing window for correcting any errors before copying is complete. For images, clicking the edit button opens a markup window that allows users to crop, highlight, or add text to whatever they're copying.

This is a simple but useful addition that in practice gives with respect to the elementary user experience with Androidem sense, especially when we consider how often many of us copy text without first checking. First beta Androidu 13 is currently available for download by users of Google Pixel 4, 4 XL, 4a, 4a 5G and newer phones. More information about Androidu 13 Beta 1 or AndroidAs such, we might find out about the 13 at the Google I/O developer conference, which starts in two weeks.
