1. Enhanced split‑screen / multitasking
Apps can now be used in more flexible layouts — e.g. one app takes up ~90% of screen, the other ~10%, with quick switch by tapping the smaller one. 
2. Redesigned Quick Share 
Quick Share is now accessible via a Quick Settings toggle, has separate Send/Receive tabs, better UI, previews before sharing, and more seamless integration. 
3. More powerful Secure Folder / Private Space 
The Secure Folder is more secure: based on Android’s Private Space, can hide apps, independent fingerprint registration, better isolation of apps/data. 
4. Now Bar / Live Updates improvements & third‑party support 
The Now Bar (showing ongoing activities) supports more apps via Live Updates, including third‑party apps, making it more useful. 
5. Camera gesture customization + Quick Controls 
You can change the camera swipe gesture (swipe up/down) to open quick controls rather than just switching lenses; quick toggle settings inside camera preview. 
6. Reminder app redesign + smart suggestions & better schedule integration Reminders now have categories at top, live counts, sample templates, easier entry (voice / text), integration with Calendar where you can drag & drop reminders, etc. 
7. DeX improvements and external display support 
DeX gets a modernized UI, better support for external display resolutions (e.g. 720p, 1080p, 1440p), rotation, orientation, etc. 
8. Privacy & permissions enhancements More control over permissions (one‑time or “while‑in‑use”), better visibility into background activity, more refined privacy settings. 
9. Accessibility improvements 
New accessibility actions: zoom buttons in Assistant menu, magnified on‑screen keyboard, control mouse cursor via physical keyboard, better hearing aid support, etc. 
10. Visual & UI refinements 
Smoother animations and transitions, rounded buttons, dynamic wallpapers, updated blur effects, cleaner design in apps like Files, Weather, Gallery etc

This update sounds awesome! I’m really liking the multitasking changes and the new look for Quick Share. The Secure Folder upgrade and smoother animations sound great too — can’t wait to try it out!
