Android 14 Beta 5 (android-developers.googleblog.com)

With the official release of Android 14 only weeks away, today we're bringing you Beta 5, the last scheduled update in our Android 14 beta program. It's the last chance to make sure your apps are ready and provide feedback before non-beta users start getting Android 14. To enable you to test your applications on devices spanning multiple form factors, Beta 5 is available for Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold, in addition to the rest of the supported Pixel family and the Android emulator.

Beta 5 is our third Platform Stable Android 14 release, which means that the developer APIs and all app-facing behaviors are final for you to review and integrate into your apps, and you can publish apps on Google Play targeting Android 14's SDK version 34. It includes the latest fixes and optimizations, giving you everything you need to complete your testing.

I'm really looking forward to the clone app feature being backed into AOSP. Hopefully LineageOS gets updated pretty soon as it was the case with Android 13

That'd be great so I can use my two phone numbers with Signal, which so far doesn't let you enroll two numbers simultaneously.

So I'm itching to download the latest Android 14 Beta since it's very close to stable.

If after my phone also eventually updates to the final public version of Android 14, can I somehow opt out of future beta updates without having to wipe my phone?

Google usually lets you update from beta to stable with ease

You can opt out of the beta program at any time, but doing so when there is no stable version means a wipe and reinstall.

Once the stable version is released, you can stay on it and opt out of future betas. Android 15 beta will require a new beta program. Betas for minor upgrades can be opted out.

Does anyone that is currently beta testing Android 14 know if it still supports sim to esim conversion?

Predictive gestures still in developer options?

It allows third party apps to know how much of the back gestures was performed and do an animation that is controlled by your finger or other action based on it. Imo ideally it should look something like opening a post on Instagram - a fancy expansion/collapse animation (except the app can also know which side you're swiping from)
