Do not disturb renamed to Priority mode
Priority mode is basically the Do not disturb that we used to know, there's nothing else changed except for the name. The name changes can be also spotted in the quick settings tile too.

Esper Blog
Pixel Launcher that came preinstalled Android 13 Developer Preview 2 has some new features being worked out.
The search bar can be displayed at the bottom of the screen instead of being at the top. This makes it much easier to access the search bar with one hand, especially on devices with a large screen.
In order to get access to the feature, you will need to enable

Android 13 can turn on dark mode at bedtime
Esper Blog
On Android 13, there could be likely another schedule method to turn on Dark theme besides following sunrise/sunset and the time you scheduled.
You can let the device turn on dark mode when bedtime mode is enabled. Digital Wellbeing is where you can adjust your bedtime mode settings on most devices.
This feature is not available by default on Developer Preview 2 and require enabling

Android 13 prepared clipboard overlay and showing account chips on status bar
9to5Google
When taking a screenshot, you will see a preview of the screenshot on the bottom left corner with several controls. Clipboard on Android 13 is set to get something similar to this.
After enabling the feature, when you copy any text to the clipboard, the text preview will be available at the same corner with an edit button next to it. Tapping on it will open a simple text editor, letting you make changes to the text you have just copied. After that, you can just tap on "Copy" button or the share it to somewhere else.
Besides, there is also account chip which will show the profile avatar and name of the current user profile being used in the status bar. This is neat for those who shared devices with each other and use different profiles.
These features are currently still work-in-progress, so there is chances that Google could pulled the feature anytime in a future build.

Wear OS 3 screenshots revealed new Assistant, notifications display and more
9to5Google
Google has recently updated the Wear OS phone companion app screenshots in Play Store, which revealed some upcoming UI of how Wear OS 3 will look like.
First, we saw a new Assistant layout, which is leaked earlier last year. Next is a step counter screen, and the accent color used hinted it's powered by Fitbit, which could likely replace the Google Fit version. The last new screenshot is a notification from Messages app. You will be able to see the avatar with the app icon name, follow by the sender name, day & date, and a brief conversation preview.
Agenda (Next Event) tile got a minor redesign, with the time of the event shown on the top, followed by event name, address if written, and lastly an "Agenda" button. Rest of the screenshots provided are the looks of YouTube Music, Messages and Google Pay as of today. All these screenshots should represent the design of the upcoming Wear OS 3.
