While the beta version the latest OS update was code named as Android Q, the final OS update that has rolled out has stuck to numeric nomenclature i.e. Android 10.

Dark Mode

Android 10 comes with an inbuilt ‘Dark Mode’ which was one of the most popular features available on many Android Apps. Now with Dark Mode built into the OS, the theme can be applied to entire system. Dark Mode is slated to reduce eye-strain and save battery life for the users.

Focus Mode

Smartphones have been fuelling digital addiction among its users and to handle this problem Google has introduced Focus Mode as part of Android 10 OS update. Under Focus Mode, Android 10 will allow users to silence certain predefined apps that they find to be distracting. Deactivating Focus Mode will again enable access to the apps.

Bubble Notifications

One of the major changes to the User Experience has been introduced in Android 10 via the Bubble Notifications. Bubble Notifications will be similar to Chat Heads used by popular messaging apps, allowing users to access their notification while using any application. Through Bubble Notification, users will get a floating notification for alerts which they can interact with without having to quit their current app.

Improved Privacy Controls

The second key feature introduced as part of Android 10 is the improved Privacy Setting and Control which allows apps to use location services, activity controls and Ad setting.
