Android Pie update all new features Digital Well-being, Battery Optimization, new gestures

Android's new update Android Pie new features

Google has just released the final and stable version of android 9.0 "Pie". Google has finally named this update as "Pie" after so much debate.

Android Pie rolls out today to Google's own Pixel phones.As for when the update will hit other Android phones, that's a giant question mark as always.

Google says devices that were a part of the developer preview program—those from Sony, Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus, Essential, and more—along with some Android One phones, will get the new software in the fall. Others will get the new OS sometime "this year." Whenever Android Pie shows up on your phone, here are five new things to look for. 

There are some awesome specifications that need to be highlighted. Such as following.

Awesome Gesture

In android's new update, three navigation buttons are replaced by a single pilled shaped navigating button. by long pressing that button will pop-ups google assistant. Swipe up from it and it will bring you to the latest app you were using. you can scroll horizontally through all of your open apps. You can also swipe horizontally on the new icon itself to swipe through open apps. Swipe up from the icon again and it will bring you to your app drawer. Tap on it and it will bring you home.

Battery optimization with AI

Google says it collaborated with Alphabet's DeepMind team in London to build this feature.  It's supposed to prioritize your favorite apps and put more limitations on the phone's resources for the apps you use less frequently. Puts less limitations on the apps that you are frequently using. Google says that all of the machine learning is happening on the device itself and not in the cloud. 

Background Tasks

The software update "restricts access to mic, camera, and all SensorManager sensors from apps that are idle," the company said around the time that the new OS was first announced. This means that once the app switches to "background" status—you're no longer using it—that app will lose access to your phone's mic, and if an app tries to access your camera, an error message is generated. Google has created a separate permissions category, called Call_Log, that requires developers to ask explicit permission to access users' call logs, rather than lumping it all into a single "Phone" permissions group.

Digital Well-being

Google's new "digital well-being" software is the only part of the Android Pie OS that will still be in beta for a while longer. This latest software release includes a sign-up flow where people can now enroll in the well-being beta, but again, these features will officially launch in the fall. Also: It will only work on Pixel phones to start. it's Google's initiative around limiting the amount of time you spend mindlessly scrolling on your phone. It may seem counterintuitive for a company that makes a smartphone operating system (and smartphone hardware) to encourage people to put their handsets down.
