This feature forces the app maker to ask permission to send notifications, similar to the prompt you get on many browsers.

Android reporter Mishaal Rahman has a video showing how it works. Just long-press the notification and decide where on the screen it should go. Drag a notification to one side of the screen to quickly open that app in split-screen mode. The OS also improves on Android 12's privacy features, including the option to allow app access to specific photos rather than all of them, an auto-clear feature that deletes content from the clipboard after a set time, and a 7-day look at the privacy dashboard instead of only 24 hours.

Android 13 builds on Material You, Android 12's UI revamp, which allowed a range of customizations like matching your wallpaper colors to your app themes.
