Devices with Android 11+ now support DNS-over-HTTP/3 (DoH).
Google announced today that devices running Android 11 and above can now use DNS-over-HTTP/3 (DoH) for "well-known DNS servers" that support it, starting with Google DNS and Cloudflare DNS. Support may also appear on "some devices with Android 10 which adopted Google Play system updates early".
Google managed to do this simply by updating the system DNSResolver module (via Google Play System Updates). You can check if DoH is enabled on your device by running this command in the ADB:

Android has introduced Fast Pair audio switching between devices, starting with Pixel Buds Pro.
Android's new Audio Switching technology will essentially take over audio switching from one device to another. When "important" sound appears on your tablet, and you're currently listening to media from an Android device, your headphones will immediately switch the sound source and select your tablet. Or, if you’re watching a video on your tablet and you receive a notification on your phone, your headphone audio will not switch to your phone. But if you receive a phone call, your headphone audio will make the switch.
This technology complements the existing Fast Pair, and the Pixel Buds Pro will be the first pair of headphones to support this feature, with compatibility with some JBL and Sony headphones coming in the coming weeks.

How we're helping you switch audio between devices

Someone got Pixel Buds Pro ahead of time; Comparison with Pixel Buds A-Series.
On the r/GooglePixel subreddit, user u/Linkakox posted a message telling us that the Pixel Buds Pro had already been delivered to his doorstep. He notes that the active noise cancellation works quite well, and the sound and build quality is better than the Pixel Buds A-Series.
The headphones come with a small tube that holds extra Eartips, but it lacks any charging accessories and there isn't even a USB-C cable in the box.
Since the Pixel Buds app is still not updated, some settings are still missing, but you can already find the Multipoint switch. Here is how it works:
• If you want to switch multimedia audio, you have to stop the media in the first device and press play on the other.
• If you're listening to music on your computer, and then someone calls you to your phone. It will pause the media on your computer automatically and switch to your phone that you can answer and listen to the call.

Pixel's At a Glance widget will soon be able to work with Ring's smart video doorbells.
The Android System Intelligence app on Android 13 has received an update to T.5.playstore.pixel6.459729022. Mishaal Rahman found new lines mentioning working with Ring doorbells, which will appear in the appropriate switch when the Ring app is installed. Previously, 'Doorbell' feature only worked with Google Nest doorbells.
In addition, there is a new "Control using data from apps" item in the At a glance settings page, which redirects you to the "personalize using app data" settings options. Also, under Settings/Privacy/Android System Intelligence, there is a new "Customize the experience using your Google Account data" switch.
Finally, this update fixes an issue where the "At a Glance" settings page was inconsistently collapsing while scrolling, which we reported on our separate channel and which was mentioned in Beta 3.2 changelog.

Google has optimized Google Drive, Docs, and other Workspace apps for Android tablets.
If you've already forgotten, at Google I/O 2022, the company said that it will update more than 20 of its apps with optimizations for tablets. And now Google has officially announced that Google Drive, Docs/Sheets/Slides and Keep will now get updates that improve multitasking on Android tablets.
This mainly concerns the ability to drag and drop between apps when you're working in split-screen mode. However, Google Docs, Presentations and Drive will also add support for keyboard shortcuts when an external keyboard is connected to your tablet.
In addition, Google Drive will now be able to open in two windows, just like Chrome. To do this simply select the three-dot menu on any Drive file and tap on the "Open in new window" option.
