There are more than millions of apps online, from alarm to book reader, games, you name it and there is an app present for it. And now Google I/O announced a new feature of Android – O Beta for all the developers, but with additional features. This new release will help them to create new apps with more prominent features.
The new Android O Beta targeted the two main areas where improvement was indeed required – the battery life and the security. These two have always mattered to the user. The other features include
The Notification feature- Now the new app icons will have a small circle indicating the updates, just like in iPhone.
The Contextual Autofill Option- It will read and predict the text you are trying to fill, with more accuracy than before.
The Smart Text Selection- The smart selection smartly reads out the text written, the numbers, text, and addresses. Now when you click on the address in the text, Google will understand that you want direction and automatically launch the map. Similarly clicking on the text will expand the area and give you option according to the text i.e. if it is a number than whether you want to dial it, copy it, share it, etc. And if it is a normal text than option may be copy, paste or search.
The Picture in Picture is another feature that will allow you to access two apps simultaneously. Meaning you can open the calendar simultaneously working and chatting on Gmail or messenger.
Other than these features, some small touches have been added to the hardware and operating system to increase the user experience. This new OS will not only help the developers to spot harmful errors in apps but create apps to make Android UI richer.
