Features of Android Pie you must know this.
There are many features in Android Pie to make work easy to you. With the release of Android Pie to Google Pixel devices, it's time to take a look on Android Pie features.
Smarter app suggestions
Furthering your Android device's bid to learn more about you, over time Android Pie will learn which actions you commonly take with a specific app or contact and display shortcuts to quickly carry out said tasks.
For instance, if you normally call a relative around a specific time on a specific day, App Actions will provide a shortcut to dial the person from within the app drawer.
Smarter settings
With Android Pie, your phone will learn more about how you adjust settings like display brightness, as well as when you typically use specific apps. It will tune the OS to increase battery life and overall performance.
New navigation
Android Pie's new navigation flow.
Right now, most Android devices have three digital buttons at the bottom of the screen for navigating the interface. With Android Pie, users have the option to use only one button by enabling new gesture navigation. The home button now acts as an area where you use gestures to view recently used apps, quickly switch between them and open the app drawer.
New screenshot tool
Finally, Android Pie is adding better tools to do more with screenshots. After taking a screenshot, you'll have the option to annotate and share it directly from the screenshot interface instead of relying on a third-party app, as has been the case in the past.
Wellbeing features
Google is tackling smartphone addiction with a wellbeing program. The company wants to encourage you to spend less time on a phone and more time experiencing life without a screen. No, really.
Part of the wellbeing program on Android Pie is a new dashboard that breaks down your usage habits based on the app, the number of times your phone is unlocked in a given day and the number of received notifications.
Furthermore, more wellbeing features include an app timer to limit your time in an app and a new wind-down mode that turns your phone's interface into a black and white display at a set time each night. The lack of color is supposed to discourage you from spending too much time on the phone right before bed.
Shush, a feature related to Do Not Disturb, activates when you place a phone with the display down against a flat surface. The phone automatically enables Do Not Disturb mode, ignoring any potential interruptions during a meeting or family dinner.
While Digital Wellbeing didn't make the final release of Android Pie, Pixel users who have already updated to Android 9.0 Pie can sign up to help Google beta test the new feature.
