The new update is mostly a Branch integration update into the Nova Launcher beta APK. Branch search is powered by a library used by Nova. The firm also clarifies that this library is completely offline and makes no network connections; assuring no data is stored. The update also has some minor bug fixes.

The previous Nova Launcher 8.0 beta update integrated Material You Design. It also brings the new wallpaper-based theme engine to all Android devices.

With Android 12, Google introduced new Material You design which is an upgraded Material 2.0 design with dynamic touch ripple, a silky-smooth scroll, and a spacious layout. The best part is the new wallpaper-based theme engine – where various elements of the Android system are applied Accent colors based on the phone’s wallpaper.

This is called dynamic color. You can pick your favorite wallpaper and the entire phone experience transforms to better express you, from your home screen to some of your favorite apps. This feature is now embedded into Nova Launcher 8. See the following image for reference.

Nova Launcher beta with version 8.0 features Material You design, Dynamic color themes, All-new Settings design, and Night & light colors.
