Instead of taking up several grids on your home screen for your weather, calendar, battery and music player, stack them and swipe the stack to switch between them. Themed icons You can now use an icon theme that coordinates with your overall theme. Touch & hold a blank space on your Home screen, then tap Home settings > Themed icons. Hide quick setting labels when using Classic style If you're using Classic style for quick settings, you can now hide labels on the settings tiles. Hiding them frees up screen space if you already recognise the icons. Improved notifications Live updates Live updates let apps to display real-time, ongoing data. Instead of sending multiple notifications, an app can now continuously update a single live snippet in your status bar or notifications. You can turn these on or off. Notification summaries You can now peek at your notifications for a one-sentence summary of a lengthy group chat or a rapid-fire thread from messaging apps (like WhatsApp or Messages). Organised notifications Your phone now organises your notifications to separate your personal messages from clutter and automated alerts. It uses machine learning to screen lower-priority notifications and bundles them into separate, quiet folders under the Silent section of your notifications. New settings Enhanced HDR brightness control When you view HDR content – like an Ultra HDR photo in Google Photos, a HDR video on YouTube or an HDR feed on Instagram – your phone's display automatically sets brightness to its highest limits to make the highlights pop. You can now limit this brightness to a more comfortable level by adjusting the intensity of Enhanced HDR brightness or turning it off to force HDR photos and videos to play at a normal brightness level. New sharing features in Connected devices There are two new ways to share in Settings > Connected devices: To share a photo or file with one other person, use Tap to Share by placing your phones together. To share with a reusable group, use Quick Drop to send photos or files to friends or a team simultaneously. Other improvements Android system upgrades add more than new features. Using the latest Android update provides other improvements such as: Enhanced security and protection to defend against evolving threats like malware, phishing and data breaches App compatibility with newer apps, which often require the latest Android version to function correctly Performance improvements that optimise your phone's operating system for smoother performance, better stability and, in some cases, longer battery life Bug fixes and stability enhancements to resolve known issues and improve overall reliability and stability
