One of the main changes was the replacement of the "Wi-Fi" button in the quick settings panel with the "Internet" button. Even so, when the user taps it, the options for Wi-Fi connection will still be displayed the same, plus the possibility to select another network or switch to mobile data.

In the privacy control panel, the interface became more intuitive with the aim of helping the user to keep track of how and which applications are using their personal data. With this, it will be possible to have greater control of the applications that need your personal data to work.
However, it is worth remembering that for this, application developers will need to follow Google's guidelines. As with iOS 14, the Android 12 will display device microphone, clipboard and camera activity indicators, for example, when such applications enable these features.
In the case of developers, Google also separated a novelty. The company is providing a series of new tools that will improve the experience of using and developing Android 12, in order to promote a deeper implementation of the system.
