Be in two places at once

• Multi-window view
• It took Apple an entire year to introduce
  split-screen tab viewing in Safari for iPad
  users, but Google did it at the same time it
  introduced multi-window to Android. When using
  Chrome in multi-window mode, tap on the Menu
  button and select they super handy option of
  Move to other window. Its fully acceptable to
  point and laugh at iOS users if you feel the
  need.

6

• Quick switch between apps
• To activate multi-window mode, long-press on the
  recent apps button. Whichever app youre
  currently using will go to the top of the screen
  (on a phone, or to the left on a tablet), with a
  list of recent apps shown along the bottom.
• Select the second app you want to use from the
  list. Drag the divider to resize the app windows,
  or to maximize either of the active apps

7

• Daydreams become screen savers
• With Google repurposing Daydream as the namesake
  for its VR platform, a new name was needed for
  the previous Daydream feature.
• That new name is Screen Saver, which makes so
  much more sense than Daydream did in its previous
  incarnation. Android screen savers still work in
  the same fashion as they always have.

8

• Quicker multi-tasking
• You can now double-tap the recent apps button to
  quickly switch between your two most recently
  used apps.
• For example, say youre in Gmail but need to look
  something up in Chrome to include in an email.
  You can open Chrome, find and copy a link, then
  double-tap the recent apps button and your device
  will switch back to Gmail.

9

• Multi-window mode
• When using two apps at the same time, you can
  drag-and-drop text between the two windows.
  Highlight the text, then long-press on it until
  the text begins to float.
• Drag it to a text field in another window, and
  let go. The same goes for sharing images between
  two apps, assuming theyve been updated for the
  latest of Googles wares.

10

• Track the APK
• Android Nougat will now keep track of where an
  app was installed from. Open Settings then Apps
  and tap on any listed application. Scroll to the
  bottom of the page, where youll see the source
  of the apps installation.
• For example, if it was installed from the Play
  Store it will say as much. If its something you
  side loaded, it will state something along the
  lines of Installed from Package Installer.

11

• Bundled notifications
• Have you ever posted something on Facebook, only
  to have your notification tray blown up with
  alerts of likes and comments? Me neither, but for
  those who have youre going to love bundled
  notifications.
• Once an app updates for Android Nougat, it can
  opt to have all of its notifications bundled into
  one alert. Slide down on the respective
  notification to reveal the rest of your alerts
  for that particular app.

12

• Data Saver
• When using an Android Nougat device, you can
  enable Data Saver to restrict specific apps from
  using data in the background. Under the Data
  Usage menu, open Data Saver and turn it on.
• You can then go through a list of apps installed
  on your device, and enable background data for
  each one you want. Otherwise, apps will only gain
  access to a cellular data connection when youre
  actively using it.

13

• Reply with speed
• You can now reply to messages from apps like
  Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, or Messenger
  directly from the notification.
• Cancel button for app downloads
• Ever start to update or download apps from the
  Play Store, only to remember youre on a cellular
  connection or your battery is about to die? You
  can now cancel downloads directly from the
  download notification, instead of having to tap
  through each item in the Play Store.
• Keyboard shortcut helper
• Using a physical keyboard with a tablet like the
  Pixel C adds a level of convenience and mobile
  computing appeal to the tablet. However, learning
  and remembering each apps keyboard shortcuts can
  be a chore. With Nougat, you can press Search /
  to view a list of shortcuts for the app youre
  currently using.
