This is the new Android 12 shutdown menu, now integrated into the quick settings

Android 12 Beta 2 is here, and with it a new wave of novelties that brings us this second beta of what will be one of the most important renovations of Google’s mobile operating system.

With Android 12 Beta 2 come some of the news that were pending, such as new privacy options and improvements, but there are also other news that were not announced last month during Google I / O 2021, such as the renew your shutdown menu.

A new way to turn off your mobile with Android 12

Until now, if we wanted to turn off the mobile, natively we could only do it by holding down the power button. With Android 12 Beta 2 this changes, since Google integrates the shutdown menu in the quick settings.

When fully displaying the quick settings bar we will see the new off button. Pressing it will activate the new shutdown menu, which eliminates its integration with Google Pay and device control from Google Home and co.

Now the shortcuts to Google Pay and to home device control they find each other in quick settings. In the lock screen We also find a shortcut to Google Pay at the bottom right, which can be customized to control home devices.

The renewed shutdown menu shows by default three options: Emergency, Shutdown and Restart. A long press on the shutdown or restart buttons will activate the option to “Reboot in safe mode”.

In the screen lock settings we can activate a fourth option: Secure lockWhat it does is activate the lock screen, in case we want to lock your screen but without turning off your screen first.
