Android 13 QPR 2 Beta 2: The new taskbar for tablets and foldable devices is now enabled by default.
While previously the taskbar was invoked by holding down the navigation bar thereby enlarging the navigation bar area, now the taskbar is invoked by a slight swipe upwards and is displayed on top of the app. It then automatically hides when you interact with the app or do nothing for ~6 seconds. The new taskbar also appears in the recent apps menu.
Android 13 QPR 2 Beta 2: The volume slider is now longer, and the notification mode icons with and without sound have been changed from bell to speaker.
