Android 9.0 Pie: Everything you need to know

[br] [br] [br][br][br]Pie is delicious, whether it’s apple, blueberry, or pumpkin. Get ready to grab another slice, as the baked dish is the name of the next version of Android. Android 9.0 Pie is here, right out of the oven, and it’s coming to a phone near you soon.[br][br][br]NEW FEATURES[br][br]Powered by artificial intelligence[br][br][br]Google believes strongly that your phone should be intimately yours, and should adapt to your life, rather than the other way around. Android 9.0 Pie is bringing several features powered by artificial intelligence (AI).[br][br][br][br]More powerful lock screen[br][br]The lock screen in Android is getting increasingly powerful. In Android 9.0 Pie, the lock screen will now show more than just the time. Now, it’ll also show things like the weather and upcoming calendar events you may have, meaning you can get that information with a simple glance.[br][br][br]New ways to navigate your phone[br][br]One of the biggest changes facing you immediately in Android 9.0 Pie is the new system navigation. The traditional Android navigation buttons have been replaced with a small pill-shaped icon at the bottom of the screen. Swipe up from the bottom to see your Recent apps, and a full swipe up will open up the app drawer. Swipe the pill-shaped home button to the right and you can quickly swap back to the last app you were using. The back button still remains, but only when you’re in another app. You can tap the pill-shaped button to go home, and pressing and holding it will open Google Assistant.[br][br][br]Digital Wellbeing[br][br]Android 9.0 Pie, ensures your phone works for you, and not the other way around. To that end, Google is implementing a bunch of handy features that let users limit the time they spend on their phones, see where they’ve spent the most time, and wind down before bed.[br][br][br]Do Not Disturb improvements[br][br]Do Not Disturb is now much simpler to use. Tap it once and you won’t see, hear, or feel any new notifications coming in (except for alarms). You can customize this to your liking in the Do Not Disturb settings, and like before, add schedules for when you want this to turn on automatically — including when you have an event based on your calendar.[br][br][br]Boosted Bluetooth[br][br]Android 8.0 Oreo added the ability to connect to two different Bluetooth speakers at the same time, giving you the tools you need to give yourself homemade stereo sound. Android 9.0 Pie is going three better, with the ability to chain together up to five different Bluetooth speakers at once, essentially giving you the option to build yourself a surround sound system. Incoming calls will be sent to any one of the speakers capable of handling calls — so no freaky calls with voices coming at you from all around you.[br][br][br]Lock down your phone[br][br]One of the biggest, but least reported additions to Android 9.0 Pie is the new “Lockdown” mode. To trigger it, hold down your power button and select Lockdown from the list. This will lock your phone down, clearing all notifications and personal info from your lock screen. [br][br][br]Improvements to existing tools[br][br]It’s not just all about the new features — some existing and beloved features will be getting a fresh coat of paint and some new toys too. Taking a leaf out of Apple’s book, Google is adding zoom to the text selection tool. Basically, a zoom lens will pop up during text selection that allows you to see the text you’re selecting, ensuring that you’re always able to get the right selection. It’s smart now too, and will suggest actions based on the text you’re selecting. If you select an address, for example, you will get the option to open Google Maps directly with the address inputted. You will also be able to select text in the app Overview, so you won’t need to fully switch apps to quickly grab some text.[br][br][br]Volume control is getting a minor update too, and a phone’s volume rocker will now control media volume by default, instead of notification volumes. There’s now also an “Edit” button built-in to the screenshot notification, which helps save a few steps. After taking a screenshot, you will get the option to crop, draw over, or otherwise alter their screenshots. You’ll also be able to take a screenshot by holding down the power button and selecting Screenshot from the options presented.[br][br][br]FINALLY [br][br]Android 9.0 Pie improves notifications. One of the major upgrades for the system is how Android handles repeat notifications. If Android notices you repeatedly dismissing notifications from the same app, it’ll ask you whether you want to turn off notifications for that app. It also gives you the tools to check out which apps are pestering you the most. Go to Settings ] Apps & notifications, and then hit Notifications, then tap through the options to see a list of which apps have sent the most notifications. By default, this menu shows a list of your most recent notifications, which is also useful if you accidentally dismissed a notification without properly reading it.[br][br]Android now also suggest smart replies in supported apps, allowing you to quickly send contextually relevant responses without having to open an app. You can also attach photos and stickers and type your own replies from the notification. Notifications also look a little different, with a new font, and have a cleaner design.[br][br][br][br]
