Flipboard Daydream Arrives On Android 4.2

Flipboard users on Android have a reason to celebrate, now that the Daydream feature on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean is capable of showing covers from the popular social magazine. The latest Flipboard update on Android brings Flipboard Daydream, a feature that gives users running Android 4.2 the power to turn Flipboard covers into a “screensaver” for their tablet or phone. The Daydream feature on Android 4.2 was first discovered in September last year.

Basically, it functions as a screensaver for your Android device, with all those Jelly Beans floating across the screen. Today’s Flipboard update is an attempt to harness that untapped feature. To activate Flipboard Daydream, simply go to Settings > Display > Daydream. Select Flipboard, then “Start Now” to get a preview. For phones that do not charge via a dock, be sure to select “While Charging” for “When to Daydream.”
