what's going on guys long hair from Android Authority and Android M was just announced at Google i/o and there's a lot of different changes and features so this is my top 5 best features of Android M so in no particular order starting off this list at number 1 is app permissions so with the way that Android handles permissions right now you'd have to accept a bunch of different permissions when installing an application whether you agreed with them or not in order to install the app well that all changes with Android mmm no longer our permissions granted during the installation process and there are a lot more granular now so you can actually select which ones you want to allow and which ones you want to deny so you have a lot more control with the app permissions and app permissions are also in app now so they only request them when they're necessary so for example like whatsapp asking to use your microphone or Twitter asking use your camera feature number two is app linking so with app linking you're no longer going to get that annoying pop up that ask you if you wanted to open up in chrome Chrome Beta Facebook Twitter or whatever application it thinks applies to that link you're no longer going to get that pop-up and instead it'll actually intelligently analyze that link and open up the application that's appropriate so for example if somebody sends you a Twitter link to a tweet and you click on it it'll automatically just open up Twitter you also have built in chrome tabs now within applications so if you're in an app like Twitter or Instagram or even Facebook or whatever application and you click an external link to a blog post or something it'll actually open up the chrome tab within the application itself so it's a lot more seamless it's not going to open up Chrome separately and all of your chrome settings and your passwords are still going to be intact within the in app chrome tab feature number three is called dos so if you remember with Android L last year Google had project Volta to help with battery life and this year they have doze with Android M so this is supposed to put your device in a much deeper state of sleep to improve standby time and it uses the built-in sensors in the device to do this and it does this at the expense of apps refreshing in the background but not all functionality is completely lost any high priority notifications like alarms and chat notifications will still come through coming in at number four is Android pay and this is basically Google's answer to Apple pay but being able to pay with your Android device isn't anything new and we've been able to do it ever since the gingerbread days with Google Wallet but the biggest difference here now is that you no longer have to open up an application like you did with Google Wallet to authenticate the transaction and this will work with any device running KitKat all the way up to Android M but it will work best with devices running Android M with a fingerprint sensor out of the box as Android M has full-on fingerprint support so you'll be able to use your fingerprint to authenticate the transaction so I think it's pretty safe to assume that the next Nexus devices will have a fingerprint sensor to fully utilize Android pay and Google is working with a bunch of different financial institutions to make sure you can use any debit card of your choice and over seven hundred thousand stores in the US will be compatible with Android pay as long as they support contactless payment so anywhere that you see the Android pay logo or even the NFC logo you'll be able to use Android pay feature number five is now on tap and this brings Google now to virtually anywhere on your Android device so even if you're within a third-party application or any application rather you can still do a Google Voice Search and access Google now cards within the application and it's contextually aware so it actually analyzes what it sees on the screen and will provide you information based on that so for example if you happen to be listening to a specific artist on Spotify and you want to know a little bit more about them it can answer your question without you having to even mention the name of the artists or person out loud you can also long press on the home button whenever you're within an application to bring up a contextually aware of Google now card so for example if you're having a chat with somebody about dinner and a movie and you long press on the home button it'll bring up relevant information like movie reviews restaurant reviews movie times and restaurant reservations this is easily my favorite feature of Andrew and because there's been countless amount of times where I've chatted with somebody about going to see a movie and I had to jump out of my conversation to go to either Google now or another application to check movie times and this just makes the experience a lot more seamless and prevents you from having to jump back and forth between so many applications and there you have it guys this has been my list of the top 5 best features of Android M obviously this is not an all-inclusive list so
