Here are our five favorite features from the Android 15 beta so far.

Since February, Google has been slowly releasing information about Android 15. At Google I/O, the company launched a second test of the new OS and made it available on more devices than just Pixel phones.

If you’re in the test program, you can try out these functions for yourself. Honor, iQOO, Lenovo, Nothing, OnePlus, OPPO, Realme, Sharp, Tecno, vivo, and Xiaomi all make phones, tablets, and folding phones that are compatible.

Remember that Android 15 is still being worked on, so these betas are more likely to crash and have bugs than the stable version that will come out later this year. You should make a copy of your Android device before you put any test software on it.

Also, keep in mind that because these testing stages are experimental, some of the features that are in the betas may change or be taken out of the final version. Despite this, Android 15 brings some great new features, such as better privacy, security, and storage. Here are five of our favorite test tools that you can use right now.

1. Keep your apps in a safe place

Private Space is a brand-new feature that came with Android 15. This makes a different space where you can store and get to your Android apps. It’s kind of like a digital safe or personal page for apps that you don’t want other people to see or work with. After logging in with your PIN or fingerprint ID, you can get to these apps from the bottom of the app drawer.

You can connect a Private Space to a different Google account to make it safer. This makes the secret Space a second profile on your device, so when you use secret apps this way, they don’t show up in device data. If there was a full profile system, that would be great, but Private Space is a good start.

2. Automatically turn on Bluetooth again

Sometimes when I’m not connected to my devices, I like to turn off Bluetooth. But then I fail to turn it back on. As of Android 15, you can set Bluetooth to turn on automatically the next day after you turn it off. This is a small but useful feature. More importantly, having Bluetooth turn back on by itself makes it easier to find a lost device now that Google has finally added Find My Device.

3. Better protection against theft

After a crash, Google Pixel devices use your phone’s microphone, location, and movements to figure out if the crash was serious and call emergency services. As part of its new and better theft protection features, Android 15 uses similar devices. And if your phone is ever stolen while it’s open, the accelerometer in it can now sense the shake and change in location and lock itself instantly. You can get your phone back and open it yourself if you do something stupid with it, like drop it down a flight of stairs.

4. Save apps you don’t use

Last year, this tool was added to the Google Play store. Now, it’s built right into Android 15. For the most part, archiving lets you remove apps from your device while keeping the icon and login information. This is helpful if you need to make room but still want to use the app later. If you want to use the app again, all you have to do is tap the button and get it again on your phone. I tried this with Genshin Impact and archived about 30GB of data to make room for it. When I later redownloaded it, I was glad to see that all of my login information was still there. This let me quickly play some games again.

5. Only record the screen of one app

This change makes it much easier to record what’s on your screen if you do it often. You can now make sure that your Android device only saves one app at a time instead of everything that’s on the screen. When this feature is turned on, pop-up messages and accidental finger swipes are ignored. This means you won’t have to make any extra changes in a third-party program to get rid of private information or mistakes you made.
