Android 12 beta now available.

[Kizzy Catwoman]

I'm on the beta versions of Gboard and Message. I haven't observed any issues connected to those apps that I know of.
The Bubbles for Message and Telegram seems to work differently than before the beta but I can reply within the Bubble. I kind of like that. I need to play with that more.

You see I can't reply within bubbles. So reverted to release versions. I wondered if it was Niagara Launcher being an alpha causing it. But I tried in pixel launcher and it is the same issue. They either disappear or the keyboard freezes or isn't there at all.

Ugh my messages is bright white again. No dark mode

Oh my gosh. That is a big ugh! Blinding me....

I just had my wife send me a text in Messages. Everything looked fine in the bubble. See attachment.

So the release version of Messages had no dark mode, and no ability to show in bubbles? I thought that was available in the release version.

I think bubbles showing is a thing. It is just when I click on one sometimes it disappears.

Since we are Beta testers don't forget to send Bug Reports.

Yeah I have done

After I uninstalled the betas for Google Messages and Gboard, I added myself back to the betas. Found that some of these bugs in Messages aren't showing now. I only have where the keyboard doesn't render properly under the text box. I found a workaround to get it working properly is to tap the emoji icon in the text box, and then tap the text box again. Keyboard renders properly. You still have to do it every time the keyboard renders incorrectly.

So I'm curious, is anyone turning off bubbles in Messages until the next Beta update?

Never turned bubbles on in the first place.

 

[Kizzy Catwoman]

Me. I am turning them off

 

[jhilker]

I did too, will check again when the next update drops.

Another bug that I reported. Assistant will not turn on Do Not Disturb either through Routines or directly asked. It will turn it off.

I filed a bug report about the bubble issue last week.

This is what happens when I try it out. It gives the option to slide a switch.

Same here.
However previously Assistant would turn on Do Not Disturb when told or when running my "Clocked Out" routine I have setup when I clock out from work. The second task in that routine is to turn off Bluetooth. Assistant does that.
Thanks for testing and confirming the bug. Make sure a bug report is sent. The more the merrier.

Will do. Was the gif video useful? I like that I can upload videos to the forum as a gif to demonstrate things. I managed to get an app that converts videos to gif.

It confirmed the same result I got. So, yes it was useful.
I thought you used the screen recording.
I'm curious how you did that.

I used screen recording and then converted the resultant video to a compressed gif. Has to be under 20MB to upload to the forum. So I trimmed the video in the app to the precise bits needed and converted it to a gif. Then uploaded the gif to the forum as a photo.

The app I used is GIF Maker (listed as Gif Shop in the app drawer) and was free with £2.99 to remove the ads.
