MARSHMALLOWANDROID 6.0 

ANDROID MARSHMALLOW• Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" is a version of the Android mobile

operating system. First unveiled in May 2015 at Google I/O under the codename "Android 'M‘.• Marshmallow primarily focuses on improving the overall user experience

of Lollipop, introducing a new permissions architecture, new APIs for contextual assistants (a feature notably leveraged by "Google Now On Tap"—a new capability of the Google Search app), a new power management system that reduces background activity when a device is not being physically handled, native support for fingerprint recognition and USB Type-C connectors, the ability to migrate data to a micro SD card and use it as primary storage, as well as other internal changes.

FEATURES OF ANDROID MARSHMALLOW • The apps menu is crazy-different• App search bar and favourites• The clock has gone all stylish• Google has added a memory manager• You can add a lock screen message• Battery optimisation now on a by-app basis• Fingerprint scanners supported as standard

THE APPS MENU IS CRAZY-DIFFERENT

• One Android Marshmallow change all of you will notice is the way the new apps menu works. It’s totally different to Lollipop and the other previous versions of Android.• This time, instead of a bunch of apps ‘pages’ you flick through

horizontally, the apps box is a scroll thumbed through with a smooth vertical movement.

APP SEARCH BAR AND FAVOURITES• If your apps library is so massive you can’t remember which

apps/games you’ve uninstalled, this bit will let you get them back on-board sharpish.• There are also four special apps slots right at the top of the

apps menu. These are filled using an algorithm that picks the most important apps based on those you use most, and have used most recently.

THE CLOCK HAS GONE ALL STYLISH• Lollipop upped Android’s style game, and Marshmallow tries

to take that a step further with a redesigned clock.• It’s little more than a font shuffle, but does give the new

software a bit of a different, sharper visual personality.• Check it out below. The date text is now written in all-caps,

and the font of the time characters seems to be a bit thicker, as if Google has hit the ‘bold’ button.

GOOGLE HAS ADDED A MEMORY MANAGER

• One of the complaints about Android Lollipop was that its memory-hungry nature introduced all sorts of performance problems in phones without absolutely loads of RAM.A new feature lets you check out the memory usage of all your installed apps without using a third-party app.• There’s a whole new ‘Memory’ area in the main Settings

menu.

YOU CAN ADD A LOCK SCREEN MESSAGE• A tiny little tweak of Android M is that you can now add a

little line of text to your lock screen.• Unlike the date font, this little extra line is written in lower

case, and seems to have opacity of just under 100 per cent, making it a bit less bright than the clock.

BATTERY OPTIMISATION NOW ON A BY-APP BASIS

• Android only really started to embrace proper a battery-saving mode with Android Lollipop, even though custom skins have had such features for years now. Android Marshmallow adds a whole new battery area called ‘optimisation’.This tweaks how apps eat energy when not being actively used in order to save battery life. As standard, all apps bar the Android system itself use battery optimisation, and all you can do is make important apps exempt from this feature.

FINGERPRINT SCANNERS SUPPORTED AS STANDARD• Finger scanners have been found in Android phones for years

now. However, it’s only with Android Marshmallow that the system supports the hardware natively. Before now, software for these scanners had to be jammed in by the manufacturer.
