Google Android (Go edition), the light-weighted version with full-featured OS, has reached 200 million daily active users. Google launched its first Android GO in 2017, providing its users a smoother Android experience with 2GB of RAM or less on entry-level. The company has announced an all-new version of OS that will launch in 2022 at an affordable price. But the company doesn’t create headlines this time.


Speed, security, and privacy are the main priority for the Android12 Go edition, similar to Android 12 proper. The most notable thing now is the speed 30% faster, with smoother animations available on Android 12 Go. SplashscreenAPI, which is available now for the low-powered OS, will also help the developers.

Android 12Go has enhanced privacy and transparency, which is the most significant feature. Now the users will have a new privacy dashboard where the users will see a” Snapshot of what particular type of delicate data is accessing,” according to the press release. The users will get the option to revoke the permit if needed. Users will be able to access those apps which are using your phone’s microphone without your permission. 

In the status bar, a new privacy indicator will be included, which will let you know when any app is accessing your microphone or camera. And most importantly, the owner of Android 12GO will be able to stop apps and save the information of your precise location data. They will be able to get access to your approximate location.

Now managing the data and Apps will be easier for the users of Android 12 GO. The latest updated GO File will help you recover your deleted files up to 30 days after deletion. You can directly share your app without using the internet with nearby smartphones, so it saves your data. Also, to save battery life, Android 12 will hibernate all your apps that you have not used for a long time.

The new other feature of Android 12 GO is its ability to hear or translate the text on the screen by navigating users phone’s recent apps. Now you will find two new shortcuts fixed under the app’s overview page: there is an addition of listening and translate with screenshot option. If you want to search a Wikipedia article in chrome, just for an example, scroll the overview page, click on listen to the option, rest Android 12 GO will do for you. 

In Android 12 GO, you can immediately jump to the guest page from your lock screen. You can readjust guest mode to start again with a clean page. Which device will get the Android 12( GO edition) update is not clear yet.
