The Recent Apps screen in new (Go edition) gives you options to listen to the news and translate any on-screen content into your preferred language.

Through Nearby Share and Google Play, you’ll be able to save data by sharing apps directly with nearby devices. The new (Go Edition) lets you easily switch to a guest profile before sharing your device. It will also reset that profile once the person you shared with is done using it. Profiles will be available directly on the lock screen to simplify this procedure.

The new Android 12 Privacy dashboard makes it to the Go edition too, and you get the same snapshot of which apps are accessing sensitive data. The status bar privacy indicator is also in, showing you when apps are using your mic and/or camera. All of these will be enjoyed on Android 12 (Go edition) devices launching in 2022.
