When Google introduced Android 13, we gave you an overview of what’s new in this version. Among them was the new way to select images, much more private than before, which never hurts.
This feature is, according to Google, backward compatible with Android 10 and Android 11, but today the company announced that it is also extending it to mobiles equipped with Android 4.4 or higher. That is to say the vast majority of current mobiles.
Android 13 photo picker reaches everyone
It is thanks to an update of Google services that the company has brought the compatibility of the photo picker to almost all the mobiles currently in use.
New Android Photo Picker
This feature allows that when an application asks us for access to our photos, we can give you access only to the photoor photos, which we want, not everything we have stored.
So, you shouldn’t be surprised when, overnight, you find that an app you use often has changed the way you add images. It’s different, but it’s also safer.
a gradual change
The change in the way of attaching images will affect all users with an Android mobile with Google services and a version equal to or later than Android 4.4.
However, these changes are made gradually, on the server side, so it is possible that two identical mobiles, with the same updates and applications, do not acquire it at the same time.
