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.

More content from the first owner of the Pixel Buds Pro.
After a day of use, u/Linkakox updated his Reddit post with a more detailed review, microphone recording samples, and some new screenshots of the settings, made possible by an update to the Pixel Buds companion app.
It is worth noting that, unlike previous generations, you can choose to either call the Assistant or toggle the noise cancellation and transparency modes on the Touch & hold gesture.
Also, the user included a video demonstration of the Silent Seal Active Noise Cancellation feature ('Eartip seal check'), a technology that allows Pixel Buds Pro to adapt to the shape of your ear and adjust ANC compensation.

What about the release of Android 13 and the August patch?
Google has already published information about security vulnerabilities fixed in Android 13. It also mentions that Android 13 will have a default security patch level of 2022-09-01 (i.e. September).
The company also published the Android Security Bulletin of August 2022 and the Pixel Update Bulletin of August 2022. (Summary of vulnerabilities fixed in the August patch). That said, they don't mention Android 13.
And as of now, there are no AOSP sources or the updates themselves. When they will come out is not specified. But I think you get the whole point about Android 13.
