Fitbit app Material You redesign starts rolling out today.

• Customize what information you focus on to zero in on your goals: To customize what stats you see, tap edit at the top of the Today tab. Then you can choose your focus based on personal goals.
• New Coach tab to find a workout for you.
• Charts now include easy-to-understand information about metrics and highlight patterns, helping you make sense of your health and wellness data.
The new design appears with the update to version 4.00.

Google Photos will soon add support for Android 14's native Share sheet.
One of the key changes in Android 14 is a new system share sheet where app developers can embed their own shortcuts. The first Google app to get support for this feature was Google Chrome, and Google Photos is next in line.
Android 14 share sheet will replace the current app bottom sheet, and it will include a preview of the image(s) or video (with a video icon) with 4 shortcuts from Google Photos underneath:
• Create Link
• Send in Photos (in the Google Photos Conversations)
• Add to Album
• Create Album
The "Modify" button on the top right allows you to select additional images.
When Google is going to roll this out to all users is not yet known.

Android now shows battery information in settings! You can now go to Settings > About phone > Battery information to see the manufacture date and cycle count of your device’s battery. Not every device will report this info, though.
Sadly, this page doesn’t show the battery stat that I think most of you are interested in: the state of health, ie. the remaining estimated full charge capacity relative to the rated capacity in %.

When you connect a Bluetooth device in Android 14 QPR1 Beta 1, you can now choose its “audio device type”. You can choose between Speaker, Headphones, Car Kit, Hearing Aid, or Other.
This could be helpful if you’re using a Bluetooth device that isn’t properly recognized, as the “spatial audio” toggle, for example, only appears when the audio device type is set to “Headphones”.

One of the best parts of Apple’s Find My is that some iPhones can be found even when powered off.
It looks like Google’s bringing this feature to Pixel, as suggested by a hidden UI I uncovered in Android 14 QPR1 Beta 1.

Android 14 QPR1 Beta1: Pixel Launcher is experimenting with a new "floating" search bar".
Back a year and a half ago, the Pixel Launcher app had an ENABLE_FLOATING_SEARCH_BAR flag that essentially just pinned the search bar in the app box to the bottom of the screen and above the keyboard.
In a fresh build, as spotted by Mishaal Rahman, this experiment was continued, and now the search bar literally floats and is available even from the recent app overview. All this is accompanied by pleasant animations.
Fortunately, anyone can try it even without root access using the ADB command:

Android 14 QPR1 Beta1: New webcam mode via USB connection.
When connecting Android smartphone via USB cable to PC, there is a new "Webcam" preference. Once activated, the system will display notification from "Webcam Service" Clicking on it will allow you to customize the use of your smartphone's camera.
It is possible to set 1x or 2x zoom, as well as switch to the front camera. On a PC, the camera will appear as Android Webcam, and, at least on Windows, you can also rotate the video streamed from the phone camera.
