Google Play System is getting Android 14 browser gestures

September 2023 is on and Google continues to add new features to the Play System. After integrating FIDO2 PIN support and improvements, the tech giant is now bringing Android 14 browser gestures to the Google Play System ahead of the major software release.

While we are still having our eyes on the Android 14 launch date, Google is adding some prominent browser gestures to the Play System with the latest September 2023 update. These tweaks are mainly for those with a trackpad or styles.

On the flip side, the company is unveiling a set of new keyboard shortcuts for Android System WebView. These shortcuts easily twin with Chrome’s shortcuts on desktop devices. You will also find video trailers in the Play Store for certain media and entertainment apps.
