Android 13 Features
Multi-Language Setup
If you are an Android user who speaks more than one language, Google has added the multi-language feature to Android 13. This means you can assign specific languages to individual apps so you can keep your phone’s system in one language, and each of your apps in a different language.
For example, your phone system could be in the English language, while your WhatsApp could be in French or your Facebook could be in Spanish or even your chrome could be in another language.

Advance “Material You” Look
Last year’s Android 12 introduced the material you design, style, and look. However, Android 13 has built further on it. So unlike Android 12 which limited some of those styles to only Google apps, Android 13 will now allow you to customize non-Google apps to match your phone’s wallpaper theme and colors.
Security
Android 13 will keep you protected and secure. First, apps will no longer have access to your entire media library. Rather you can now select only the specific photos and videos they’ll need to access.
Additionally, in a bit to keep your sensitive information more secure, your clipboard history will be automatically cleared after some time. This means sensitive information like your phone number, passwords, email address, etc, can’t be accessed by others.
