The latest beta version of Android 12 brings a “more iOS” picture-in-picture and one-handed mode experience
Although the update has not yet been released to general users, it has not yet reached the public beta stage.

The most interesting thing about Android 12 DP2 this time is actually some “homage” features. Including the Picture in Picture function, in addition to the original user experience, a user experience somewhat similar to iOS is added.
Previously, this feature has been able to double-tap zoom and close the window by swiping down to the bottom of the screen. On DP2, this feature adds a way to temporarily retract the edge of the screen, and use two fingers to zoom in and out of the window more accurately – yes, it’s a bit like iOS, but I have to say, it does look quite convenient.

You can perform a sliding gesture on the system navigation bar to briefly move the upper half of the screen down for touch control.
