Introduction • Android 6.0 marshamallow is a new version of android used

as mobile operating system.• It is officially released on 15 oct 2015.• After very discussion its name is final as marshmallow instead

of milkshake.• Google nexus series is first in queue to run it.

FeaturesApp Drawer :-• One of the most immediately obvious visual changes to Android 6.0 is the

new app drawer. This now scrolls vertically instead of horizontally, and is held against a white background, rather than a muted shade of your homepage wallpaper. Across the top of the menu you will see your four

most recently used apps.

Power and Charging :-• We all hate running out of battery and Android Marshmallow wants to

ease our pain through a new function called Doze to improve device standby time. By using motion detectors, Android will recognize when a device hasn’t been interacted with for a while, such as when a person is asleep or a phone has been left on a table, and reduce background processes.

• Google tested two Nexus 9 devices, one running Lollipop and one running the Android M preview, and learned that Android M will provide up to twice as much standby time. Even in Doze mode, though, Android can still start alarms or notify you of priority notifications.

• Android Marshmallow also supports USB Type-C, which provides faster charging, and lets users charge other devices with their phone.

Auto app data back up :-• The new app backup feature on Android Marshmallow will, in time,

be very useful. It creates a copy of practically everything an app needs to be reinstalled and pick up where it left off. All the data is backed up to Google Drive, where it can be plucked and placed on a new or reset device. So all your data, settings and passwords go

back to where they were as if nothing ever happened.

Adoptable storage Devices :-• Adoptable Storage Devices is Google's new storage feature which

essentially takes an external storage source (such as an SD card or USB drive) and formats it like an internal storage space. This means that app and personal data can be moved freely between a devices internal storage and its 'adopted' storage source.

• Adopted storage devices are wrapped in a layer of encryption to soothe security concerns and both microSD cards and USB OTG drives are currently supported.

Delete screenshots• The second version of the Android M developer preview added a new

delete option to the screenshot preview in the notifications shade. Previously you just had the option to share a screenshot from the notifications. Now you can delete it as well.

Rotating home screen• A surprisingly slow feature to make it to Android, the screen rotation

function for the home screen has finally made an appearance. Now you can use your phone in landscape format both in apps and on the home screen.

Improved cut, copy and paste• When you select text on a current Android device, a series of confusing

icons appears at the top of the screen, and figuring out what they all do takes trial-and-error. In Android Marshmallow, the words 'cut', 'copy' and 'paste' will simply float above selected text, making the process much simpler.

Network Settings Reset option• Hidden away in the Backup and Reset settings is another new feature

called Network Settings Reset. This lets you instantly wipe all of your network settings, including Wi-Fi connections, cellular data and Bluetooth connections.
