- This updated operating system offers more user-friendly features, improved security, and more personalisation options for a more seamless, uninterrupted experience.
The brand-new Funtouch OS 13 has been officially released by vivo for users in global markets. This updated operating system is based on the recently released Android 13. In addition to making sure users have a simple experience, vivo wants to give them the tools they need to use their devices to express their individuality and creativity.
Add a touch of personalisation to your screen
Users have more visual control over their home screen with the Funtouch OS 13 and choose the colour of the icons on their home screens to match their wallpaper, system, and app interfaces due to the monochrome icon feature that allowing creativity and self-expression.
Additionally, the new system gives users the option to change the colours of the UI and built-in apps on their device, such as the notification panels, volume control, calculator, and clock. It can use the user’s favourite wallpaper and theme to determine the right colour tint, then apply it to the app interface to give the device a more distinctive appearance and feel.
Further protection and security
Users now have more trust in their security and privacy thanks to the new app pinning function, which helps keep important data secure. The two-level pinning feature keeps the selected app visible and restricts access to other apps on the device when someone else uses it. Greater flexibility is made possible by this feature, which lets users establish restrictions and manage what may be done in the pinned app when other people are using the device.
Furthermore, this update gives users the option to conceal videos and photos and pick which applications can access which photos, limiting unauthorised viewing on their devices and further enhancing privacy protection.
Enhanced controls and easy-to-use features to provide greater convenience
The Funtouch OS 13 also includes enhanced application management, the iManager, which can specifically assist in monitoring app usage time, to produce a more streamlined experience for vivo users. Users can quickly close an application if the CPU utilisation gets out of hand. By limiting the amount of open applications and modifying the CPU frequency in accordance with the cooling feature of the phone, iManager can also avoid overheating.
The dashboard also includes an AQI card for health-conscious users who want to instantly check the most recent information regarding air quality with a detailed PM2.5 index available, in addition to weather updates.
New photo and video updates are to be expected with vivo’s well-known premium mobile photography experience. The professional viewfinder’s new stabilisation ring, which lessens the effects of shaky hands will definitely improve photography.
The production of expert videos is now made easier due to improvements to the video editing process in the new OS, which allow users to silence the video’s sound while editing the footage and even make exact volume adjustments on each portion of the video.
Enhancements have been made to the accessibility controls for users with specific needs, including visual impairments, such as the ability to remove animations, colour correction, and inversion.
The X80 Pro is the first device to support the Funtouch OS 13. Funtouch OS 13 will be gradually made available to more users worldwide by vivo, offering the most cutting-edge experiences to date.
