Google's New OS, the Android Marshmallow 6.0 Comes with Exciting Features

The Android M 6.0 update for Google's mobile operating system, was unveiled at the 2015 I/O Conference.

The notable features of the Marshmallow 6.0 are listed below:

1. Google Translation

Users no longer have to go to the Translate app to look up a following word, as holding finger on a certain word now presents the option of interpreting it via Google Translate. For instance, if you are reading something, and you come across a foreign word that you cannot comprehend, all you need to do is long-press that particular word and the device would present you with the option of translating it.

2. Chrome Custom Tabs

In Google's current OS, the Android Lollipop, clicking on a link within an application opens the Chrome browser. This is not the case for the Android M, which will make Chrome function along with the app. So if you click a link within an app, it will not launch Chrome separately but will instead display a Web view within the app.

3. App Permissions

In the new OS, users have the ability to deny permission to apps trying to obtain personal information. However, it should be noted that if you do not grant permission, some of the certain parts of the app might not work normally. Users can also allow access during the app's installation process and then disable it later, the news outlet noted.

4. Battery Manager

If your phone run out of battery then Doze app will automatically cut off some of the device's processes minimizing battery consumption. The handset will snap out of its Doze state once a priority notification or alarm goes off.

5. Emergency Service

Android M also has a newly enabled feature that shows an overview of Google Maps whenever users call 911 or the emergency number of their residence. In this feature, the emergency service and Google Maps work by displaying "the emergency service center they're connected with during a call," with the current location and information of the caller also shown on the map "so they can more easily give those specific details to the emergency dispatch person on the line with them," Android Headlines wrote. This way, help can be dispatched quicker to those in dire need of it.

6. Android Pay

With Android Pay, users can now incorporate their credit and debit cards with their handsets to create a virtual account number, put it near a contactless terminal, and pay for their purchase.
