Marshmallow has been among the
most anticipated operating systems. It
surpasses our expectation; the new OS is simply amazing. Although the basic
user interface is similar to Lollipop, but Google has incorporated a wide range
of new features. These amazing features are bound to take your OS experience to
next level. There are a great number of tips and tricks that you would enjoy,
but below we have listed only the top 7 tips and trick of Android 6.0
MARSHMALLOW.
The All the Google Now on tap:
Google has always been providing
you with the relevant information on daily basis, but Google Now on Top takes
it to the next level. It makes sure that you have instant information whenever
you need it. We often come across a situation, where a friend texts the name of
a certain place for a meet up, but we don’t know the exact location. Before
MARSHMALLOW, you would have to manually copy paste or type the name of the
place on Google in order to search it. But now, just leave your messenger app
open, then press and hold the home button for relevant information regarding
the place to pop up.
Google Now on tap will
automatically come up with the links for navigation to that particular place.
It will also browse their menu and place a call for the reservation for you.
Likewise, if you are watching a movie, allow Google Now tap on to get you its
trailers links from YouTube.
Controlling
Dozing Apps:
Doze has been among the best
features of Android OS lately. It tends to put your device to sleep when it is
not being used for a specified time. This helps increase battery life. However,
you will still get the notification if the developer of the app enables this
feature.
But what about applications whose
developer did not enable the feature and you still your phone to show notifications
even when it is in the Doze mode. You can always enable it yourself. Go to
Setting Battery. From there tap on the three dot menu and select the battery
optimization open and before you select All Apps, make sure that you have
tapped on the “Not optimized”. This will allow you to select any app that you
want to remain functional in the Doze-Mode.
Direct Sharing:
If you are an Android user, we
are sure you would be familiar with the Android Direct Sharing menu. However,
if you are new to the Android world, direct sharing menu allows the user to
shared information from one particular app with a different number of apps. In
Marshmallow, Google has updated this amazing feature. Now the feature allows
you to share information not only between a number of other apps but also with
other people.
Keep
Checks on App that are consuming most of your memory:
Memory is one of the biggest
issues on any smartphone. Lack of it can lead to a number of problems
including, slow processing and phone hanging. The best way to solve this
problem is to keep track of those apps that are consuming your entire RAM.
In order to check which app is
consuming most of your phone’s RAM, go to setting>memory and there would be
able to see the memory statistics. You will see the average memory that has
been consumed in the past 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours. Tap on “Memory used by Apps”
option to determine which app has been consuming most of your phone’s
resources.
Using
Google Translator while using other Applications:
For people who are the regular
user of “Google Translate”, you are going to love this amazing and exclusive
feature of MARSHMALLOW. If you have Google Translate installed in your app, all
you have to do is select the text in any app and select “Translate” option. You
no longer have to manually copy paste the text in Google Translate to get it
translated.
Ways
of customizing the Quick Menu Settings:
We have always been a fan of the
Quick Menu settings. For those who are not familiar with Quick Settings menu
option, it basically a menu that is displayed on top of your screen when you
swipe down with two fingers. Google has allowed users to customize it in
Android 6.0 MARSHMALLOW. However, you can never do it, unless you are
acquainted with the trick of unlocking the System UI Tuner.
Start by tapping and holding the
Setting Icon button that is located at the top right corner of the Quick
Setting Menu. Lift your fingers, after a
couple of second and you will be able to see a popup telling you that the
System UI is now added to your setting.
Now simply go to
Settings System UI Tuner and tap on Quick Settings. Tap and hold on any
title that you want to remove or add in the menu.
Set Volume:
Thankfully customizing volume
settings is way easier in Marshmallow as compared to they were in Lollipop.
Press on the volume key and a pop-up will appear on your screen. The popup will
allow you to control the volume of whatever is being played on your phone at
that time. Tapping on the down arrow
present on the right would open up the system breakdown for you. Now you can
set the volume for your, media and alarm as well.
Another way to set the volume is
to go to Setting, then choose Sound and Notification option and set the sound
level and type.
These are some of the most
amazing features of Marshmallow, we had great fun discovering them and we are
sure you would enjoy using these features. Let us know what you think about
this new and amazing Android OS.
