Multi-window support on desktop

One of the great features expected from version 4 of the famous framework for developing cross-platform applications is to finally be able to handle multiple desktop windows and not just one, getting closer and closer to a true desktop application.

Material Design 3

Version 4 brings us the full use of Material Design in version 3 along with all the components updated to this version.

Automatic layout detection

Another great novelty that had to come out from the first version is that Flutter will automatically adapt the Material Design design to that of Cupertino if the app runs on iOS. Currently, when creating our great app on Android we must adapt the design in parallel Using The Cupertino style, not which one, is a lot of work.

New Rendering Engine

Another aspect that cannot be missed is that we will now have more efficient and faster applications, by bringing a new rendering engine that will provide more fluid animations.

Improved Accessibility

In Flutter version 4, an improvement in accessibility features is expected, including support for Microsoft Accessibility 11 that will allow applications to be more friendly for people with disabilities.

Segmented button

The Segmented Button is a new component that will make it easier to select between segmented options. This will be especially useful for creating interfaces that require navigation or filtering, such as calendars or search filters.

Bottom App Bar and Drawer Redesign

There are many components that were redesigned or will have changes with Material Design 3, some of them are the BottomAppBar and the Drawer that have been redesigned according to Material Design 3 specifications.
