Google released the first beta of Android 12L
Google continues to prepare for the release of a new version of the Android operating system. Previously, the preliminary version of Android 12L was tested exclusively among developers, and now the first public beta version is available.
Anyone can install Android 12L Beta 1, provided they have a supported smartphone – the Google Pixel series, starting with the Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL models.
Android 12L is a functional update primarily designed for foldable and large screen devices. However, Android 12L also works for classic smartphones like the Google Pixel.
Android 12L Beta 1 introduces changes to improve the user experience on large screen devices, adds refined API level 32, new build tools, and improved compatibility mode to make it easier to work with apps that are not designed for large screens.
On devices with large screens, a two-column layout is offered for the notification bar, lock screen, and some other system bars.
Multitasking has also been improved – there’s a new taskbar at the bottom that will make it easier to switch between apps. The split screen will become more intuitive with a simple drag-and-drop gesture from the taskbar.

WhatsApp will stop working on iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C. From autumn, the messenger will not be supported on iOS 10 and iOS 11

According to the WABetaInfo resource, which tracks all the innovations in the messenger, the application developers will stop supporting devices running iOS 10 and iOS 11 this year. This will happen on October 24th.
Thus, in the fall, WhatsApp will stop working on smartphones such as the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C. This data is confirmed by the WhatsApp Help Center, which indicates that the application requires iOS 12 (and higher) and Android 4.1 (and higher) to work.
Apple is expected to unveil iOS 16 at WWDC 2022 in June. It will introduce many new features, but at the same time, the new OS will not be supported by a number of the company’s popular phones – iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and first generation iPhone SE.

Even Windows 11 has already been updated to Android 12.1. Microsoft has updated the subsystem Windows Subsystem for Android

Microsoft continues to develop the idea of combining Windows and Android. Recently, the company announced the release of an update to the Windows Subsystem for Android subsystem for its current OS.
One of the main innovations is the transition to Android 12.1 (12L). The current public version is based on Android 11. Initially, the update is only available through the Dev Channel. When it will become available to everyone is still unclear.
Microsoft notes that updating to Android 12.1 may result in some apps not running. She does not specify which ones, but it probably refers to some old programs.
The update also strengthens the integration of Android into Windows. For example, pop-up messages are first displayed as Windows notifications. The taskbar now shows if an Android app is accessing your microphone or location.
The company also states that Android apps should work better after waking the computer from standby. Instead of restarting, they should just resume where they left off.
