Google Now becomes more intuitive and smarter than ever. It now has various range of contexts and answers not to mention it also suggests actions to undertake.
Apps Permissions gives device owners more convenient management of the permissions of downloaded apps. Owners are endowed with choices, either to allow or deny permissions. Apps Permissions are mandatory to all first time users of the feature, not at the point of installation.
Doze is a new battery saving feature that devises motion sensors to manage the device's power, especially when idle. It eliminates background processes and starts alarms and informs owners of priority notifications.
Meanwhile, app drawer sports an all-new design ditching horizontal scrolls while replacing with vertical ones. The background is white to create a stark contrast with the scrolls. The improved app drawer shows four most recently used apps across the top of the menu.
If device has a fingerprint scanner, this features can be used for purchasing goods and services and unlocking device. Marshmallow also supports mobile payments through Visa, Discover, MasterCard, American Express and Google Pay.
