Android 12 Beta 4 introduces Google Sans for Now Playing, as well as changes to Cards & Passes and lock icons.


The lockscreen has seen a trio of tweaks, including the brand new Google Sans font for the Now Playing feature, as well as some improved icons for other existing features. Android 12 Beta 4 has a lot of new features and functions, but the lockscreen has seen a trio of tweaks that include the brand new Google Sans font for the Now Playing feature, as well as some improved icons for other existing features.


We've dug deep into what makes this latest version of the pre-release OS tick, but the more time we spend with Beta 4, the more we discover new minor adjustments and modifications. With the Android 12 Developer Preview and now the Beta phase, the lockscreen has undergone a lot of modifications. With Beta 4, three new tweaks were implemented, including another use of the Google Sans font for the famous Now Playing music identification feature.

The font is substantially wider, slightly more rounded, and spaced differently than the Roboto font that was previously utilised. It's quite subtle, but you might have seen it already and had trouble figuring out what had been changed.

The Cards & Passes icon has also been tweaked, as shown above. The symbol now resembles a credit card with a magnetic strip rather than a wallet stuffed to the gills with credit cards. When viewed fast, it is flatter and easier to comprehend.We can envision this being a significant difference for users who are unfamiliar with Android and are greeted with a new lockscreen symbol.

A minor placement change for the device lock indicator — or padlock — joins the new Google Sans typeface on Now Playing and this revised Cards & Passes symbol. The lock symbol has been moved from its lower position, where it had been for quite some time, to a more central position.

None of the changes, whether it's the Google Sans typeface for Now Playing or the rearranged icons and positioning, will have a significant impact on your day-to-day experience with Android 12 Beta 4 — which isn't without flaws. When you factor in the sheer number of additional minor changes, the result is a UI that is vastly different from Android 11 and previous.
