Google has announced the release of Android 7.0 Nougat to Nexus devices.
According to a post on its official blog, Android said it had taken a different approach to building & launching Nougat. It had invited developers to take a sneak peek at ‘Android N’ back in March 2016, so they could bring their apps to the new platform earlier.
Google had also asked people to help us come up with names for this year’s release, resulting in lots of great ideas, and the official unveiling back in June.
The final version of Android Nougat “reflects inputs from 1000s of fans & developers all over the world. There are over 250 major features in Android Nougat.
The post highlights a few of ’em:
More personal: Providing more ways to customize your phone to fit your personality is kind of a big deal, and Android has been leading the way since day one (Homescreen widgets, anyone?). With Android Nougat, you’ll have even more ways to make your phone your own, including:
-
Expanded emoji: There are now over 1,500 different emoji built into Android, including 72 new ones, so go ahead: express yourself.
-
Quick Settings controls: Quick Settings gives you easy access to things like bluetooth, WiFi and the all-important flashlight. With Android Nougat, you can actually control what tiles go where, and move ‘em around to fit your needs.
-
Multi-locale support: Apps can tailor their content based on your locale settings. So if you speak multiple languages, for instance, then search engines can show results in each of those languages.
