vivo has now equipped its V25 Series and other vivo devices with the new Funtouch OS 13 based on the newly released Android 13.
This updated operating system combines vivo’s design with new and improved personalization options, upgraded privacy and security features, and new control features for a smoother, uninterrupted experience.
Not only does the update provide users a better effortless experience but also gives users the freedom to express their creativity and uniqueness through their devices.
Add a touch of personalization to your screen
The Funtouch OS 13 allows users more visual control of their home screen. With the monochrome icon feature, users can now change the color of their home screen icons to match their wallpaper, system, and app interfaces.
It can utilize the color from the users’ preferred wallpaper and theme to determine the appropriate color tint, applying it to the app interface to transform the device with a more personal look and feel.
Further protection and security
The new app pinning feature helps keep sensitive data secure, providing users greater peace of mind regarding their security and privacy.
When another person uses the device, the two-level pinning function keeps the chosen app in view and prevents access to other apps on the device.
This feature enables greater flexibility, allowing the owner to set parameters and control the allowed actions within the pinned app when other people are using the device.
This update also allows users to hide photos and videos as well as selectively choose various applications access to specific photos, thereby preventing unwanted viewing on their devices and further enhancing privacy protection.
Enhanced controls and easy-to-use features to provide greater convenience
Funtouch OS 13 also features improved application management with its iManager. This helps specifically monitor app usage time to keep the phone running efficiently. Users can shut specific applications down with one tap when they feel that CPU usage is getting too high.
iManager can also prevent overheating by reducing the number of active applications and adjusting CPU frequency based on the Phone’s cooling feature.
Additionally, weather updates on the dashboard also feature an AQI card for health-conscious users who wish to instantly check the latest information concerning air quality with a detailed PM2.5 index available.
There’s also a significant improvement on the photography experience with the professional viewfinder that makes photography easier with a new stabilization ring that helps mitigate the effects of shaky hands.
The new OS has also refined the video editing process, enabling users to mute the sound of the video while editing the footage and even make precise volume adjustments on each segment of the video, helping users create professional-grade videos.
In terms of accessibility controls, enhancements have been made with color correcting and inversion, as well as the option to remove animations for users with specific needs, such as visual impairments.
To see if your phone has already been updated to Android 13, go to “Settings” and click ”System update” to verify. Just make sure you have a stable internet connection and sufficient battery power to successfully update your vivo phone.
