Android 14 may feature new settings for region-specific preferences

A hidden system settings page was found in the Android 14 DP1 named "Regional Preferences," reports Android Police. It is expected to allow users to set up system-wide preferences for temperature units, calendar format, the first day of the week and number system. With the new settings enabled, applications won't have to ask for or make assumptions about users' preferences.

Tech giant Google is reportedly working on new settings for its upcoming system software update 'Android 14', which will allow users to set all regional preferences, removing the need to hop into every application's settings menu.
