Going to Wallpaper & style > Color reveals a new paint palette icon that gives you the “Select a color” slider to choose the main accent after previously being limited to presets.

Additionally, it’s now Settings > Battery & charging for a more unified menu as introduced on the Pixel 11 series. A bigger update that lets you customize the arrangement of the brightness slider and media player is not launching with this release.

Private Compute Core is a “secure environment that is isolated from the rest of the operating system and apps” that launched in 2021. The corner pencil icon on the main page lets you choose between Neutral, Soft, Bright, and Bold themes.

Go to Settings > System > HiLight for the new “Messages from favorites: Glows when your favorite contacts send you messages.” When you go to Google Contacts, the HiLight sheet shows individual options for Phone calls and Messages.

When you’re charging or Battery Saver is enabled, there’s now an outline around the battery icon in Quick Settings. In Quick Settings, there are new Tiles for Audio streams and Voice broadcast.
