The newest Android update, 13.4, is out now, and fixes have been made specifically to improve the look. One of those features is the increased support for Material You accents – an enhancement of the color-matching tool. 

It adjusts your device’s color scheme to correspond with your wallpaper. With 13.4, this customization concerns even more aspects of Android’s interface and makes its appearance more attractive.

Update Initiative

Android 13.4 is here to make your device look slicker. The key reason is that Google wants to bring Material You accents to more users. The company also desires to make the user interface more coherent and personal.

With this update, users can use many colors on anything, from buttons to sliders to menus. This proves useful for the following reasons: It also contributes to visual appeal, which is important to the user experience.

Feature Overview

Material You has improved even further with Android 13.4. By analyzing the wallpaper, the system identifies some important colors and applies these colorations to more than one system component. This is for good reason, as it creates a uniform and appealing living environment.

A Colorful Transformation

System Elements: In this update, buttons, toggles, and background colors of cards and menus are aligned to the wallpaper.

Settings Menu: The new Material You flavors also streamline the Settings menu, notifications, and the notification center.

A Note on Third-Party Apps

So far, Material You accents mainly localize to Android system widgets. However, third-party apps can apply these design principles while their usage is at the discretion of particular developers. We hope for more apps with Material You inclusion in future updates.

How to Enable the Update

Automatic Updates:

It is common knowledge that most Android phones and tablets are configured to download and install updates at night. To ensure you’re receiving updates:

Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure your device is on a good network and connected to the internet.

Battery Level: You must ensure your device is well charged for this.

Automatic Updates: Ensure your device has a setting that automatically downloads and installs updates. You can normally locate it under ‘System’ or ‘About Phone’ on your settings menu.

Manual Update:

If you want to check for and install the update manually:

To do this, click on the settings button at the bottom of your device in your app’s menu.

Then go to the “System” tab.

Press a button that says “System Update” or something like that.

Your device will scan for available updates.

If an update is available, follow the guidelines on your screen to download and install it.

Why It’s Better for Users

Android 13.4 offers a new, bright appearance to your Android devices. With Material You accents, Google has extended how to introduce your phone color drawn from your wallpaper. 

Not only does it make the whole interface more attractive, but it also makes navigation much more logical and flawless. This carry-over look and feel now extends to your car’s Android Auto interface, giving the device an integration feel.

Usability

The first public response to Android 13.4 seems positive. Users enjoy new Material You colors and additional choices to customize their devices’ look. Most users found the new color scheme and design elements one of the best improvements. They perceived the change as more engaging.

Compared with the previous Android operating system versions, 13.4 is more integrated and consumer-oriented. That integrated option to change the style based on the wallpaper is a nice twist. The idea of having a setup that reflects personal taste is also good. 

Most reviewers did not have problems with their chosen devices. As other users embrace the update, further information and feedback will be gathered. They enable Google to enhance the experience.

Upcoming Developments

Google continues to develop Android 13.4 periodically after fieldwork and feedback. More improvements are expected as the update will be for a larger list of devices with users as its beneficiaries. 

Any differences in the exact timing of a full-scale distribution should be attributed to the device makers and carriers alone. However, the update is expected to reach most Android users in the coming months.

The Sum-Up

 Users are invited to check for updates, and names have been given for the newly released update of Android 13.4. Now that Material You accents are growing, the phone interface gains spirit and exclusivity. First, buttons, sliders, and the Settings menu are now context-aware: they look and function differently based on your wallpaper.

If you missed it, read the article to see how your Android device would look after the 13.4 update. When using this update, remember to provide feedback to Google to assist it in designing future Android updates.
