Google is planning a big UI overhaul for Android 12, leak suggests

We are just a day away from Google's annual I/O conference but that's just enough time for a very massive leak on the Android 12. According to an inside source speaking to Jon Prosser, the tech giant is looking to re-design Android's UI and focus on stronger privacy and security in its next major release.

Front Page Tech put out a video summarizing the three big changes coming to Android 12:

• Beautiful new experience (read new UI)
• Stronger privacy and security protections
• All of your devices work better together

The new design includes revamped toggles, buttons, widgets and even new animations. The media player in the notification shade is also due to an update, according to the video. The icons, keyboard, and other UI elements will be more in line with the overall Android aesthetic. Supposedly, Android 12 will allow notification grouping of apps of your choice. Check out the screenshot of some of the re-designed UI elements.

Unfortunately, there's no word on what kind of security features Google is planning to implement and what it means by "all of your devices working better together" but the video at the source link below gives a little bit more insight on the UI re-design. There's even an alleged Android 12 promo video showcasing some of the new animations and the new way you can interact with the UI elements.
