Android 6.0 Marshmallow features to watch

Top Features that makes the Android 6.0 Marshmallow an “ACTIVE” OS:


1. App permissions
Android 6.0 Marshmallow gives different permissions for each application. For example, if the user does not want to provide location information available on WhatsApp, permission can be removed easily. If a particular app wants to use a service, such as location, dialogue box pops up asking for permission to be granted. Users can simply remove the check mark on the list of permissions for the WhatsApp application. Earlier, in the previous versions, we had to grant all the permissions at once during installation, in such cases we never had the possibility of selectively adding permissions.

2. Application memory usage
This new feature enables the users to keep an eye on the memory utilisation by each app and manage the apps accordingly

3. Fingerprint Scanner
Users can use this feature to enable mobile scanner to approve the purchase in Google Play Store. So users do not need to type all passwords like on the Lollipop operating system.
While we've seen Android phones with fingerprint scanners, the
implementation was done by vendors themselves. Android Marshmallow will support fingerprint scanners on phones natively now

4. Now on Tap feature of Google Now
This is one of the most impressive new features to be introduced with
Android Marshmallow. Now on Tap takes the concept of the smart
assistant Google Now, and spreads it across the entire OS so you can take advantage of it on any screen, regardless of what you are doing. All you need to do, is simply press and hold the home button, and Now on Tap will analyse the information you are looking at, to give you related cards.
For example, you get an SMS from a friend asking if you would like to go to watch the James Bond Spectre movie over the weekend; long press the home button and Google's Now on Tap will automatically recognise the context of the text based on words like 'movie' and 'James Bond Spectre' and show you useful results, such as screening timings in nearby cinema halls, or ratings from IMDB.

5. Battery Saving “Doze”
Doze is a cool new feature of  Marshmallow that puts the users in front. It is said to be capable of boosting the battery to two fold.

6. The Faster Charging System
Android Marshmallow has expressed support for the use of system charging with USB-C. This means that most of the devices present in the market with this OS will use the USB-C. Google itself claims the charging process with the USB-C will be 3 to 5 times faster than with regular USB.
