Android 15 Beta 2: Predictive back gesture is now enabled by default.
Previously, predictive gesture backwards existed as an option in developer settings. This option has now been removed, and predictive gesture will work by default for apps that support it.
When an app supports predictive back gesture, you will see where the back gesture will take you when it ends. (examples in the video)
Predictive back gesture animation has also appeared in the system interface quick settings window and in the Pixel Launcher elements (widget list, Launcher settings).
The feature has been in development since Android 13. In Android 14 it got support for in-app transitions, and now in Android 15 it will finally be enabled by default.

Android 15 Beta 2: Saving the App Pairs.
When you open two apps in split-screen mode, there's a new 'save app pair' button in the recent apps overview. When you tap it, a shortcut consisting of icons of two apps will appear on the home screen so that you can open the selected pair later.

Android 15 Beta 2: Improvements to widget previews in the widget list.
Before Android 15, the only way to provide widget picker previews was to specify a static image or layout resource. These previews often differ significantly from the look of the actual widget when it is placed on the home screen.
Also, static resources can't be created with Jetpack Glance, so a Glance developer had to screenshot their widget or create an XML layout to have a widget preview.
Android 15 adds support for generated previews. This means that app widget providers can generate RemoteViews to use as the picker preview, instead of a static resource.

In the Quick Settings tile menu and on the Bluetooth settings page, there's a new switch "Automatically turn on again tomorrow". I think it's pretty clear here.

The latest app update v. 3.18.1.4 contains hidden 'Favorites' widget, which will allow you to control your selected favorite smart home actions, automations and devices right from you home screen.
When you first add the widget, it prompts you to choose google account and home, and edit favorite devices. The widget can be scaled down to 1x2 (one row, 2 columns).
The widget is hidden by default when installing this version, and is most likely waiting for activation from the server side. It is not yet known when Google is going to roll out the widget to all users.
