All you need to know about Android M

At the recent Google I/O 2015 in San Fransisco the newest android version was released currently named ANDROID M.

Android M is Google's way to go back to its routes.This version boasts of not only some new added features but also more stability.The features that the Android M is backed up with are those which we users always wanted in our phones. 

1-TOTAL control 

Something which we all longed for. This new feature lets us control to what part of our personal info does the app can access.We can choose to either deny or accept individual permissions.
let me break it down for you in simpler terms -
lets say you are using Hike or Whatsapp and you want to send a voice message to a contact then Whatsapp will ask permission to be able to use your microphone. If you wish to continue then you accept the permission or else you don't have to.
These permissions are asked not during the installation of the app but when the app is used for the first time.
And its an one-time app permission but if you want to change it later you can always go back to Settings.

2-Restore and Back up 

How many times have we gone back to those back up apps to back up our old phones ! Google makes it easier for you. In the later Android version combined along Google drive we can back up upto 25MB or less of app data.
These back up run once per day in the background when the device is in idle/charging mode.These are encrypted data and do not count under the Goggle drive storage.
And in-case you lose your phone you can automatically get all the app data back from the previous back up onto your new device.

3-App drawer

This App drawer has its own appeal. Gone are the vertical swiping days, Here comes the vertical list type app drawer. 

It comes with a white background with the most four recent apps on the top panel.

4-Android M ram manager  

The new android version gives us a clear insight of how much RAM is  used by any app.
This can be found in Settings>>Apps>>Options>>Advanced>>Memory.
It is difficult to find but once it is set , you can easily find the most recent apps in the background and their consumption and accordingly determine your usage.
It also gives a simple bar at the top of the page displaying the device's performance status.With proper settings you can effectively use your phone.

So when will Android M dazzle up your phone?

Like the Lolipop version , we can expect it to roll out to phones and tablets in the Autumn. Currently, developers can play around with early Android M builds on the Nexus 5 and 6 smartphones plus the Nexus 9 and Nexus Player set-top box.
