For other Android phones, the new version will be available depending on the manufacturer. The timeline stretches from a few days after the official launch to several months…or more.

In addition to the new look that changes depending on your wallpaper, Android 12 has new privacy features. It is now possible to see if an app has accessed your camera or microphone.
