Heads-up Notifications |
In addition to dismissing a heads-up notification, you can now swipe it up to remove it from your screen. It will remain in your notifications tray and you can dismiss it later. |
Quick Settings | You can quickly select different Wi-Fi access points or different paired Bluetooth devices with a new pull-down menu on each tile. Conditional settings tiles that only show if you use the feature – like “Invert Colors” or “Hotspot” – can now be hidden via a long-press on the tile. |
Camera | Reduces noise in low-light shots and improves responsiveness of the viewfinder with the front-facing camera (selfie). |
Device Protection | Lost or stolen devices will remain locked until you sign in with your Google account, even if reset to factory settings. Note that you must have a Google account on the device to automatically enable this feature and set a PIN, password or pattern screen lock. |
Performance | Improvements in the Android Runtime (ART) lead to faster application launch times. |
Lockscreen | If you have enabled Ambient Display, the minimum swipe distance has increased to reduce accidental interactions. |
