The style of notification windows has changed, and they're automatically grouped per app, or separated out if they're not conversational.
Also, there's an easy new snooze control that you simply tap to snooze, rather than having to swipe on the notification. Then you can snooze specific notifications for a set amount of time. When you drop down quick settings and notifications from the top of the screen you'll no longer see those little round toggles. Instead, they've been replaced by much larger rectangular controls, similar to those we saw in Android 11's Power menu for controlling smarthome devices.
What's interesting here is the colour scheme. Google has enabled the feature that allows it to pick a colour automatically based on whatever wallpaper you have, called Material You.

As a side note to that, you can now easily dismiss screenshot thumbnails by swiping them off the screen. Similar to marking up screenshots above, when you go to share an image file there's a new 'Edit' option that lets you mark up pictures before sending them on.

What's more, when you first launch an app and it wants access to your location you can decide to have it only get access to an approximate location rather than precise.
When the camera or mic is in use, a little green dot will appear at the top right of the screen. If you swipe down, you can see a full icon and tapping on that will tell you which app is capturing images or sound. Theming is a major part of the Android 12's new feature list. In the customisation window you can choose to have the colours of your wallpaper determine the accent and background colours of the entire phone.
It also allows you to toggle on a "themed icons" feature which transforms your app icons to colour-matched ones as well - although this mostly only seems to work with Google apps.
The system lets you choose a wallpaper and then take theme colours from the wallpaper or you can choose a "basic" complimentary colour instead. You'll then find these themed colours beyond the home screen - it will be picked up in design elements across the phone, with some apps, like the calculator or dialler getting a colour makeover to fit the theme.
One of the more prominent UI changes is the updated media control widget that appears in the drop-down menu you when you have music playing. Google has enlarged it, making it span almost the entire width of the screen and adjusted the layout so the controls are closer to the middle of the screen.
