Even if users don\u2019t necessarily need them, Android is constantly coming up with new and exciting updates to their operating system. While some of these updates are crucial, such as security updates and bug fixes, other updates are designed to improve user experience. It isn\u2019t likely that Google will take a break on updates any time soon, either.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with Android 7.0 at low adoption rates \u2014 experts say that around two percent of Android users have adopted the new operating system \u2014 Android is still moving forward with newer and better plans.

Android 8.0 Name Trolling <\/b><\/p>\n

With the rollout of Android 7.0 Nougat not far behind us, Google\u2019s senior vice president of Android, Hiroshi Lockheimer, is already tweeting about the predecessor of Nougat. Of course, the tweet was in relation to all of Android\u2019s food-themed operating systems: Marshmallow preceded Nougat. But are we in store for an Android Oreo? How about Android Pocky (a chocolate cookie candy)? Probably not, but Lockheimer\u2019s tweets have gotten many excited about the name of the next version of the Android operating system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Copy Less Feature <\/b><\/p>\n

This is one of the ways that Google will likely expand on all of Android\u2019s \u201csmart\u201d capabilities. The update of the system is expected to include a feature called Copy Less. Copy Less will give your Android the ability to detect the information that you\u2019d want to copy from a source when sending a text or email. For example, the feature could detect that you\u2019d want a street address to send your friend if you were talking about where to meet up for lunch. Then, you could just copy the address directly into the text. <\/span><\/p>\n

Google Maps Update<\/b><\/p>\n

It can be frustrating to have to copy and paste an address into Google Maps, and the rumored update for Android would mean that you wouldn\u2019t have to do that anymore. Instead, the feature would let you simply tap on an address in a message for Google Maps to open and direct you to that location.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finger Gestures <\/b><\/p>\n

Android 8.0 reportedly will have finger swipe gestures that will let you simply swipe a letter on the phone to bring up a variety of different screens. For example, you\u2019ll purportedly be able to swipe the letter \u201cC\u201d to bring up your contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
