Funtouch OS is the custom skin used in Vivo and iQOO smartphones.
Funtouch OS was a different skin back then, with iOS-inspired elements taking centre stage. But over the years, it has evolved more into following stock Android design principles.
With the integration of stock Android design principles with Funtouch OS, the version numbers also got tied to each other. So Funtouch OS 14 is based on Android 14, and we can expect many features to be carried over from Android 14.
In this article, let us discuss everything you need to know about Funtouch OS 14, the expected features, the release date, and a list of devices that are expected to receive the update.
Funtouch OS 14 Release Date
The stable version of Funtouch OS 14 will be released after the Android 14 stable is released, anywhere between September and October.
Funtouch OS 14 is currently available in beta, and you can upgrade to the same on supported devices.
Funtouch OS 14 Expected Features
Customisable Lock Screen
Android 14 is bringing a lot of new customisations to the lock screen. You can customise clocks, shortcuts, wallpapers, and more on the lock screen. We can expect this feature to be ported over to Funtouch OS 14.
Granular Access To Media
With Android 14, more granular access to media was introduced. Now, you can allow the apps on your phone to access only the specific image or video you select rather than the disk as a whole or a folder. This new feature is great for privacy, and we can expect the same to debut with Funtouch OS 14.
Regional Preferences
We could also get Android 14’s regional preferences with Funtouch OS 14. This feature will let you set regional measurements for dates, times, temperature, distance, etc.
Redesigned Back Arrow
Android 14 introduced a new back arrow for gesture navigation. This will help users get back to the previous app more efficiently. We can expect this feature in Funtouch OS 14.
Better Share Sheet
The share sheet received a new refresh with Android 14. Devs can add custom sharing actions to the share sheet in Android 14. We can expect the same feature to come in Funtouch OS 14.
