Resizing the Beta 2 PiP window

I don't know who else has figured this out yet, but in the interest of the greater community, I thought I'd share my findings in a place where people can see it.
So far I've read multiple articles which refer to the removal of resizing the PiP as a bug, but in fact it has not been removed, and it's not a bug but a feature. Previously to resize, you grabbed the window by the corner and dragged to resize, but it seems in Android 12, it has been replaced with the iOS style of doing things, and you ...

PSA: To get rid of an always-on gps location services icon on the status bar, turn off the body sensors permission

I noticed this problem today where the GPS icon is always active in the status bar. Long story short, it's an issue with Google play services and if you turn off the "body sensors permissions" for Google play services the always-on gps icon will disappear from the status bar....

VERY cool pull-down effects -- can't recreate now though

So I discovered this really nice pull-down effect, but for the life of me I can't recreate the video. I thought maybe a glitch where an active notification needed to be there, nope. Maybe media player needed to be active ... nope. I give up. BUT I hope this becomes the default, even if it is accidental.

Unpopular opinion: Android 12 looks more like iOS and should be given options for UI style.

I would like to say the Material You design is great for customisation. However, what's concerning me is a lack of options to turn off or tone down the changes.

That being said, the volume bar. It looks almost like a 1 to 1 replica of the iOS volume slider. This is good... but also bad. Right now the volume bar is a thin line that simply tells you where the volume level is at. With the new look it becomes more of an eyesore, taking attention away from the movie, game, etc. And I'm not talking r...
