As we all know the next version of android is upon us and we'll be getting the full version of it on August 22nd , according to recent reports. This article therefore serves as a last minute refresh for the new features baked into Nougat and what we can expect out of the new software from the Mountain-view company.
1.Screen Savers
Android in this incarnation is giving a new name to one of its old features , Daydream. Screen savers have the same purpose as google's daydream but is now the new Platform for VR.
2.Faster Multitasking
Now you can double tap the recents button and switch between your two most used apps that are open in the background. Say for example you're in Facebook and want to switch to Instagram. Assuming that you were previously using Instagram before going on Facebook , double tapping the recents button would automatically take you to Instagram.
3. Multiwindow
Multiwindow has been a very important and a useful feature for many users but sadly this feature isn't available on all devices except some Samsung and lg devices.However Google's Android 7.0 aims to bring this functionality to all the phones with Android 7.0 installed as it will be baked into the framework of the new software.
4.Lockscren Wallpaper
Previous stock android versions did not have any option to change the lock screen wallpaper and users had to resort to gimmicky third party apps for this purpose. Android Nougat will now allow users to change the lock screen wallpaper as it is natively supported from inside the stock software.
5.Bundeled Notifications
On previous versions of android if you had several notification for the same app, for example Facebook, then you would have to go into the app itself in order to respond or view those notifications. Google's new software will now allow you to view and respond to all your notifications right from your notifications panel by dragging your finger downwards while holding on the notification. Speaking of the the notification panel, Google has also changed the look and animation of the notifications bar and it is now more fluid than ever. You can Also customize the quicksettings tiles in the quicksettings menu and choose the layout according to your preferences.
These were some of the main few changes that Google has in store for us. People with Nexus's , brace yourselves for the new version of android!
