Last night Google announced the new Android version, 6.0, Marshmallow, starting next week will be available for Nexus devices. We make a list of what seven renewals make the update worthwhile.
1. Manage app permissions
No doubt the feature that most users are looking for, is the ability to manage application permissions in Android Marshmallow. No longer do you have to go anywhere but agree with using an app; From now you can decide to which an application can access. If you install an app, then you simply do not agree with all the permissions, but do you know each app the permissions when an application needs it.
Will Facebook access to your location or your contacts? Then the app first inquires and you must give explicit permission. In the App list of Android Marshmallow watch you every app permissions and you can possibly access your location, microphone deny on camera. However, it is up to developers to optimize their apps for this, since the withdrawal of permissions still can lead to crashes

2. Google Now on Tap
Google Now gets into Android Marshmallow a more important role than before. So you can through Google Now on Tap pressing a second on the home button to get instant additional information about what is on your screen to see. Suppose you listen Spotify and Google Now on Tap is used, the smart search assistant displays relevant information about the artist you are listening, as the latest albums and when he is acting in the neighborhood. The context of the image is used to show relevant information. An example of it in Gmail is shown below.
3. Automatic backups for apps
The new Android version not only keeps track of the apps you have installed on your device, so you can easily install again when you log in to another device, but can also app -data stored in Google Drive. You can set automatic backups for your favorite apps, whereby each app is a limit of 25MB. However, the backups relish nothing of the available storage you have in Google Drive. The backups are encrypted stored.
Finally, you can create full backups of your favorite apps
It is good to know that app-data only is saved when the device is not in use and connected to wifi. You do not have to worry about backing up will affect your battery life or data bundle. Exchange can restore to a different smartphone or tablet, you can easily complete apps, even if they are installed outside of Google Play.
4. Longer battery life thanks Doze
Marshmallow also introduces the technology Doze, who works with the sensors on your smartphone and tablet. If they recognize that an appliance for a longer period of time on the table is, Doze is turned on. Apps then less often have the opportunity to wake up the device to retrieve the location for instance. Important notifications, such as notifications and alarms, come during Doze mode always by
To make sure that some apps are allowed to wake up the device, such as WhatsApp to not lose the connection with WhatsApp Web, you can “ignore optimizations” an app to the list add. Here you will also find example download app from Android; otherwise the installation of an application during Doze mode would be cut off.
5. Cut and Paste improved
A small but important improvements in Android Marshmallow is the way the operating system handles the cutting and pasting of text. When you select text in this version pieces, then appears directly above a small menu with the options to cut the text, copying or sharing. Now you have currently with your finger move to the top of the screen. It looks like this:
6. Customize Quick Settings panel
Another nice innovation that brings Android Marshmallow, is the ability to adjust the speed settings panel you wish. You can add and remove tiles, and change the layout. Since the introduction of the quick settings panel in Android 2.4 (Jelly Bean) Android users have been asking for the ability to customize the buttons, and Google will finally listened.
7. Support for USB fingerprint scanners and c
As a user, you do not direct what notice, but for manufacturers, it is convenient that the new Android version natively supports USB c and fingerprint scanners. This was already known and it is therefore not surprising that the Nexus and Nexus 5X 6P – Googles Android Marshmallow reference devices – both feature a USB-C port and a fingerprint scanner. USB c allows transit of power and data much faster and ensures that it does not matter how you plug the USB cable into your device.
