vivo launches Funtouch OS 13 based on Android 13 for European users

vivo has officially launched the new Funtouch OS 13 for users in European markets. Based on the newly released Android 13, this upgraded operating system combines vivo’s design with new and improved personalization options, upgraded privacy and security features, and new control features.

The Funtouch OS 13 allows users more visual control of their home screen. With the monochrome icon feature, users can now change the color of their home screen icons to match their wallpaper, system, and app interfaces.

On top of that, the new system allows users to customize colors on their system’s UI and built-in apps, including their notification panels, volume control, calculator, and clock. It can utilize the color from the users’ preferred wallpaper and theme to determine the appropriate color tint, applying it to the app interface to transform the device with a more personal look and feel.

This update also allows users to hide photos and videos as well as selectively choose various applications’ access to specific photos, thereby preventing unwanted viewing on their devices and further enhancing privacy protection.

The Funtouch OS 13 also features improved application management, the iManager, which can specifically help monitor app usage time. If the CPU usage is too high, users can shut that application down with one tap. iManager can also prevent overheating by reducing the number of active applications and adjusting CPU frequency based on the Phone cooling feature.

The Funtouch OS 13 is available from October 24, 2022, starting with the X80 Pro.
