Android 14 QPR1 Beta 1 introduces large screen improvements for Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet users
, that lets users change the aspect ratio of apps. Users can choose from a list of apps and set the aspect ratio to different values, like 4:3, 16:9, and full screen. The device maker decides which aspect ratio values are available, but users will also now have control over this setting and can reset the value back to the app's default if needed.
Android provides compatibility overrides that change the configured behavior of apps. Device original equipment manufacturers apply overrides to selected apps on specific large screen devices. Android 14 QPR1 introduces user overrides, which enable users to apply overrides to apps through device settings. Per-app overrides are intended to fix broken app behavior or improve the user experience on large screen devices. Apps can disable some overrides.
In the case of Instagram, for example, I was able to override the aspect ratio to fill the entire screen. In one of my accounts, I was able to enjoy the new tablet UI that Instagram has been A/B testing with some users which moves the icons to the side, while in the other account the app was just stretched out to fill in the blank space.Samsung ZFold users have had this override available to them for some time now, so it is quite refreshing to see Google implement this in a more native fashion.
If you would like to try out these features sooner rather than later, you can do so by enrolling your Pixel in theQPR1 beta releases and thus enjoy feature drops ahead of time. However, do keep in mind that this is beta software, so bugs are expected. If you prefer to wait until things are stable, you will be happy to know that these features should be available in December as part of the regularly scheduled feature drop.
