Android 14 is this close to stably taking its floor, with many new features and improvements to improve its performance. The new OS is still in its beta stage, and if the recent reports are to be believed, it will bring a new convenient feature, which allows the user to quickly mute audio with just a simple tap of the speaker icon.
According to the news, this one-tap mute feature has been spotted in Beta 5. x but likely introduced earlier. With its upcoming Android 14, Google provides a convenient facility to users by which they can quickly mute their audio without even any extra touch. This feature will surely save the user’s effort. Previously, they have to make an effort to quell the audio, for instance, by sliding the volume bar down to mute the audio completely.
Now, with the latest Android 14, users can mute audio immediately by clicking on the speaker icon at the left of the volume bar. The other click will help unmute approximately a sixth of the full range, which takes much less effort than dragging. This feature will be convenient for users who frequently want to mute or unmute audio.
This latest feature will be adaptable with numerous audio output gadgets, which includes on-device speakers, Bluetooth headphones, the Pixel Tablet’s Dock speakers and many more. In like manner, the same action for the system volume slider would also be favourable.
However, Android 13 still needs to bring this convenient one-tap feature, and the users can only mute audio by sliding down or clicking the left of the bar carefully; that also does not get the users to 0%.
Moreover, other minor changes are also spotted in the media player interface of Android 14. The output switcher now consists of a “Speakers & Display” heading, which offers a clearer choice for the users. The media player also features a wave animation while playing or pausing, which looks more attractive.
Currently, Android 14’s media player is already up to stand. Still, as we know, Google constantly worked hard in redesigning its media player interface, so it might not be surprising if more changes are introduced in the future.
