Among the updated features available with the latest Android Q beta is the long-awaited Dark theme, plus new gesture mechanics that would seem familiar to people who have used the iPhone X and later. In order to gain access to the new Android Q beta, you’ll need to be enrolled into Google’s Android Beta Program. As it is with all beta version of an OS, expect some bugs – both minor and major – to rear their ugly heads occasionally. (Source: Google Developers via YouTube, The Verge)
