10 Greatest Android 9 Pie Features
Google has released
Android 9 Pie, the newest large update of the company’s mobile operating
system. It’s got a fresh look, signal navigation, AI smarts, and, if you sign
up for the beta, Digital Well being tools to help you get a better understanding
of smartphone usage. There’s other logically helpful stuff in there, too, like
adaptive battery, which learns your usage models and control the amount of
juice that rarely opened apps can use up.
The company is trying
to build smartphones adapt to user habits in the course of AI and machine
learning. The UI has undergone a major service and the Android Pie now offers
you great features to control your phone usage.
Routing Bluetooth Speaker
Android 9 let the user pair “up to five Bluetooth devices and switch between these devices effortlessly.” If a phone call comes in, Google says that Android P will express it to any Bluetooth speaker or paired audio accessory that’s competent of handling calls. Android supported two Bluetooth audio connections at once.
Talking
of Bluetooth, we’ve all had that loud moment when your wireless headphones or
your car’s audio system just blast sound
cranked up to 11 when you first connect them to your phone. No longer has
Android 9.0 remembered the last volume level for paired devices.
Rotate button
We most
probably disable Android’s auto-screen-rotate to avoid your phone from
switching between portrait and landscape orientation when we don’t want it to.
But now Google has added nice touch with android 9 Pie, whenever an app is open
that supports landscape and you turn your phone that way, you’ll find a new
rotation lock icon pop up in the navigation bar to the far right. Tap it,
and the app will rotate. This does not change the overall system setting. Keep
in mind that you're really locking that app to landscape when you tap the icon.
Just rotate your phone to portrait and tap it again.
Find and stop Apps Notifications that interrupt you frequently
Did a casual app hit you with an irritating or totally useless notification? Android 9 Pie have an amazing feature that makes it simple to see which apps have recently pinged you and stop it from happening again even if you didn’t address it at the moment
To
enable this feature just go to SettingsàApp & Notifications then switch the notification button ON. The
next screen will show you the apps that have recently displayed a notification.
New Accessibility
Menu
Google has added a new Accessibility Menu, when enabled, gets its own icon in the bottom navigation bar. The Accessibility Menu offers shortcuts for performing general functions like triggering Google Assistant, opening the app switcher, pulling down the quick settings / notification shade, taking screenshots, and more.
Fingerprints and face Authentication on the lock screen
You could have observed the new screenshot option that shows up when you hold down the power button on your Pixel smart phone. But there’s also another security-focused button that you can optionally add there, it’s just turned off by default. It’s called Lockdown Mode.
While
tapping, Lockdown will exit out to
the lock screen, hide all of your present notifications, and require your password
or pattern to unlock the device. Even if it’s really you, other authentication
methods — facial recognition, fingerprints, and so on — won’t be enough to
bypass the lock screen. It’s the PIN / pattern or no dice. You might use this
in situations where you’re concerned about someone (the authorities, a thief,
etc.) just forcing their way into your phone by pointing it at your face or
forcing your finger onto the sensor.
To
enable this feature go to SettingsàSecurity & Locationàlock screen preferences.tap “Show lockdown”
Auto-off Hot spot
Here’s a quite simple battery-saving gauge: if you’ve enabled Wi-Fi hot spot in Android 9 Pie, there’s a new setting that will automatically turn hot spot back off when Android notice that no devices remain connected. This measure is toggled on by default.
Magnifying glass when highlighting text
When your copy and pastes require accuracy, you’ll be glad to have the new zoomed-in magnifying glass that appears above the text you’re trying to capture.
Audio lag with wireless ear buds
Google has added support for “sound delay reporting,” with Android 9 Pie, which could go a long way toward abolishing the horrible audio lag that you sometimes get when watching videos with wireless earbuds
Headsets
also support this feature can tell Android the accurate amount of delay there
will be and the operating system will use that information to keep your audio
and video in ideal sync. Note that sound delay reporting must be implemented by
manufacturers to be of any real value. If your earbuds don’t have it, you may
still deal with mouths moving out of sync with the audio you’re hearing.
Indoor navigation with Wi-Fi RTT
Android Pie now supports Wi-Fi Round-Trip-Time (RTT). It’s one of the greatest features that Android admirers are waiting for. Wi-Fi RTT feature enables indoor GPS style tracking by determining your location within a building and assist directions to help you find the way indoors.
