App Permissions<\/span> \u2013 is a way to simplify what data you allow the App Links<\/span> \u2013 or Chrome Custom Tabs, is a useful feature that enables developers to add custom components that overlay on top of apps; for instance, Pinterest can add custom transition animation to link to the web, within the app. Furthermore, there\u2019s a new app linking feature that allows apps to verify links to switch from app to app rapidly.<\/p>\n Battery & Charging<\/span> \u2013 introduces Doze, a new feature that in Android M uses motion detection to go into a deeper sleep state if inactive for longer periods of time. While dozing, the device will still be able to respond to high-priority messages and alarms. Their test in which a Nexus 9 running on Lollipop against M Nexus showed that the latter lasted up to two times longer in standby, Google claims. Furthermore, USB Type-C will be supported on Android, and because the device is bidirectional, it will be able to receive power or to power another device.<\/p>\n Now on Tap<\/span> \u2013 is a new program that displays relevant information about whatever was mentioned in an app, email, or web browser, with links to YouTube, ratings, and other info. Specifically, if you\u2019re messaging about dinner, Now on Tap can give you restaurant listings with buttons for Yelp, Maps, and OpenTable. Here Google emphasized on the improvements in contextual understanding by requesting “Skillex\u2019s” real name, but without specifying Skrillex while listening to the artist in Spotify.<\/p>\n Google Photos<\/span> \u2013 will back up online an unlimited number of photos and videos for free, organize them as timeline, and group them by locations and people. New tools are added for sharing and making collages and movies out of photos, similar to the iOS tools.<\/p>\n Offline: Maps and Chrome<\/span> \u2013 Google knows – and remembers – what parts of the world are prone to poor connectivity. A new streamlined search results page will load faster and pages will load fewer images in those areas. In the demo, Google Maps could autocomplete searches, show reviews and information, as well as give turn-by-turn directions offline.<\/p>\n Android Wear \u2013 <\/strong>glanceable, actionable, effortless.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re an Uber user, you\u2019ll like to hear that the Android Wear smartwatch OS now includes an easy option to call a car. Always-on apps were introduced during the keynote, displaying information in a low-power black-and-white mode. Next time you\u2019re navigating with Google Maps, directions will stay on the screen, glanceable as you move. Wrist gestures will help you scroll through the notifications without using your other hand and whatever you draw on the watch face will be recognized and turned into an emoji.<\/p>\n Internet of Things \u2013 Brillo <\/strong><\/p>\n Google built an operating system for the Internet of Things; it is \u201cderived\u201d from Android, but \u201cpolished\u201d to just the lower levels. It has built-in support for WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy and Google will have a certification platform for Weave, which companies can use with or without Brillo. Weave is a communication system that will enable smart devices talk to each other.<\/p>\n![\"IO2015\"](\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2015\/05\/IO2015-300x272.jpg\")
