[br][br][br]Android P, aka Android 9.0, is going to arrive in the not-too-distant future. It hasn’t got a name just yet, although we’ve seen what we think is some pretty solid evidence it’ll be called Popsicle. From March 7, Google made the Developer Preview available and since then a bunch of clever-bods have got down and dirty with the code, investigating what kind of stuff the new version of the platform is capable of. What follows is a big old list of all the new features, tweaks, and changes spotted so far inside Android P.[br][br][br] * Built-in smart replies with support for inline photos, images, stickers etc.[br] * Built-in Screenshot editing, allowing cropping, editing and drawing on captured screenshots[br] * Volume buttons control media volume by default (instead of phone ring)[br] * Support for 5 simultaneous Bluetooth audio devices connected at once (note: does not support simultaneous playback)[br] * Zoom lens for finer control of text selection[br] * Temporary rotation lock creates a new icon for rotation lock mode for quicker toggling[br] * Alarm quick settings toggle gives a view of and more control of upcoming alarms[br] * App notification tracking allows you to track, filter, and control notifications[br] * Hide frequently dismissed notifications[br] * Wired charging sounds[br] * Chrome style feature flags[br] * Pulling notification tray down gives haptic vibration feedback[br] * New Gesture Navigation[br] * New App Switcher with horizontally scrolling gallery and gesture support[br] * App Actions[br] * New Accessibility Menu[br] * Local Weather on the lockscreen, shown under the clock[br] * Calendar events on the lockscreen[br] * Automatic Dynamic Colour Adjustment based on on-screen content[br] * Camera laser sensor toggle [br]etc |
