Android 14 is going to give users a more customizable experience. Google is working on regional preferences, which will allow users to choose the temperature, calendar, day of the week, and the number system they want to use. By doing so, users will have a more customizable experience throughout the system.
Android runs on billions of devices around the world, and to make the OS more native to people, AOSP supports different languages out of the box, but the majority of users do use multilingual languages. By doing so, users can more easily use their apps in certain languages without having to change the language in the system.
Android 13 brought the language preference for app-basics, and now with Android 14, it is going to improve significantly. It will allow users to customize their device apart from the system-wide settings, such as if they want to view the temperature in Fahrenheit units but want to set the language to English (United States).
It’s not fixed what people use or what format they live in since there are billions of Android smartphones. In Android 14, users can set and tweak the settings for each app that supports this functionality. This feature will be baked into the device settings.
To use this setting, users can simply go to Device Settings and then to System, where they can find the Language and Input settings. However, first, users need to enable this from Developer Mode, as this is a hidden feature and users need to manually enable it to use this feature.
Google will bring a lot of options to pick from, like Chinese, Dazngi, Hebrew, Indian National, Islamic, Persian, or other calendar options. Alongside selection for the temperature unit and other things. However, it’s still not clear how apps are going to patch the data for the user’s regional preference. It looks like this feature isn’t going to be available to the public anytime soon, and it will take some time before it is made public. Making it available on Android 15 or later, but XDA developers say this feature might get scrapped.
