Android 14 Beta 5.x Reveals New One-Tap Mute Functionality
In the latest Android 14 update, users are in for a treat as they discover a subtle yet highly convenient feature in the output switcher—a one-tap mute shortcut. While Android 14 Beta 5.x currently showcases this nifty addition, it is likely that it was introduced in earlier beta versions, making it a promising feature for the upcoming Android release.
One-Tap Mute: Streamlining Audio Control
Android users familiar with the volume bar in their devices will appreciate the new one-tap mute shortcut. A simple tap on the speaker icon located to the left of the volume bar now instantly mutes audio playback. This improvement is done for user convenience as it removes the need for the slider to drag down to mute the audio.
Additionally, this one-tap gesture works seamlessly across various audio output devices, including on-device speakers, Bluetooth headphones, Pixel Tablet’s Dock speaker, and other Cast targets such as Nest Hub. The gesture’s ease of use ensures that users can quickly mute their devices without hassle.
One potential area for improvement could be having a second tap return the volume to its previous increment, allowing users to easily unmute to their desired level without adjusting the slider manually.

Android 13 vs. Android 14: Muting Made Easier
Comparing Android 13 with its successor, Android 14’s one-tap mute gesture stands out as a significant usability enhancement. In Android 13, muting required users to either slide the volume bar all the way down or cautiously tap the far left of the bar, with neither option providing the ease and efficiency of Android 14’s new feature. This improvement underscores Android’s commitment to enhancing the user experience.
Additional Changes in Android 14
While the media player in Android 14 may not feature any drastic changes, users can also note a few other notable updates. Android 14 introduces a “Speakers & Displays” heading in the output switcher, making it easier for users to select their preferred audio output source. Additionally, the media player now offers a subtle wave animation when users play or pause content, along with an engaging lava lamp-esque animation.

Rockstar Games has once again sold over 5 million copies of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) in a single quarter. Even though fans are eagerly waiting for GTA 6, the success of GTA V shows no signs of slowing down.
Total Sales Reach 215 Million Copies
In its latest financial report, Take-Two Interactive, the publisher of the game, revealed that GTA V has now sold 215 million units worldwide. This is an increase of 5 million copies since the last report. These numbers also include physical copies sent to stores that may not have been sold to customers yet.
Interestingly, GTA V has been selling 5 million copies every quarter this year, which shows just how popular the game remains even after many years since its launch.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Also Selling Strong
Another Rockstar hit, Red Dead Redemption 2, sold 4 million copies in the last three months. The game has become the best-selling game in the U.S. over the past 7 years based on the total money made.
However, fans have noted that Rockstar has not released any major updates for RDR 2 in a long time, making its continued success even more surprising.
GTA Online Keeps Growing
While Red Dead Online has been quiet, GTA Online is still getting regular updates and content. This helps keep players engaged and brings in new fans regularly.
During an investor Q&A, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that GTA V is the “standard-bearer for our industry,” showing how the game has set a high bar for others.
Even with all the excitement around GTA 6, GTA V continues to perform incredibly well in sales. Rockstar’s open-world games are still hugely popular, and fans are clearly still enjoying them while waiting for the next big release.
