Android users, those who are excited about Android 14, are eagerly seeking new custom lock screen clocks that will be going to available for the platform. As per the tweet from Android researcher and tech expert as well as journalist Mishaal Rahman explain, the certain clock options that subsequently going to be available are probably this month’s Android 14 Beta 3 release. Consecutively, the next Android 14 Beta should have platform stability. This indicates all app-facing behaviors and APIs are final.
It is noted that platform stability doesn’t means that the upcoming release won’t have bugs. While it indicates that the focus is on smoothing up the next Android build. It is notable that if someone intended to join the Android 14 Beta program with the next release. Then you will need to be stuck until its stable and final version, released in August. Otherwise, it leads to performing a factory reset, resulting in an early withdrawal. Therefore, it is advisable to keep a backup of all your data before joining any Beta program.
You can also choose from a “dynamic” and “small” clock size. This is equivalent to the “double-line clock” toggle in Settings > Display > Lock screen. pic.twitter.com/NhKEh3oVFs
