Android 13 Developer Preview 2

[Deleted member 2609113]

I decided to install it on my Pixel 6 Pro.
For my initial observations about this Android 13 Developer Preview 2 on my Pixel 4a see this thread: https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=7053911.

After installing when an app is opened a permission for notifications will pop up. Nice.

Swiping down the notification shade twice will show active apps at the bottom, see screenshot (ok so I can't draw an arrow worth ).
I just loaded a screenshot that shows when there are two active apps running and tap on the notification.

Even though my phones are updated to A13 Developer Preview settings still show it's running A12. Both phones will not be getting the A12 updates, which is a fix because previously it would be downgraded if there was a 12 update putting the phone in a boot loop.

I've been using my phone constantly since installing A13 Developer B2 and haven't encountered any bugs except for one small flea...Quick Tap didn't work until I went in and turned it off and back on. Now it works just fine.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the most bug free beta I have ever installed.

I was checking battery usage (for another thread) and I noticed a reading I had never seen before "CPU" usage percentage.
I don't know if this is new but it is interesting.

I found a bug that I've already reported. When using Smart Lock tapping in the open lock symbol/button will open the home screen but all of the app icons are "invisible". See screenshot shot. However tapping on the screen will open an app that is in the position of the tap. Locking the phone again and swiping up from the bottom will open the home screen with apps showing as normal.
So I just swipe up from the bottom and not use the button.
Update: Just tried this on my P4a running the same A13 Developer Preview 2 and the same thing happened.
