there is nothing quite as delicious as a new Android release I mean with names like Ice Cream Sandwich KitKat and marshmallow I think anyone who isn't diabetic would be excited and now there's a new version of Android to satisfy your craving for some sweet sweet software nougat less excitingly known as Android 7.0 but is it a big enough deal to become the creamy satisfying center of your smartphone well unlike the smaller number dot other number updates that are often a little more than security patches nougat brings a boatload of new features first off it addresses one of the biggest limitations of traditional mobile user interfaces the inability to see two things at once something we take for granted on desktop platforms with nougat though you get a split screen mode that's reminiscent of the snap assist feature in Windows 10 you simply drag your thumbnails to the side of the screen to activate the feature this will be especially useful on larger smartphones tablets and tablets as you'll finally be able to make better use of all of that screen real estate in stock Android without the janky limitations on some of the add-on ways that this has been done in the past and speaking of doing many things at once you can double tap the recent apps button now to switch between your two most recent apps just like alt-tab instead of fiddling around with the virtual rolodex every time another tablet and phablet friendly feature is the new ability to natively adjust the size of text and UI elements on your screen older versions of Android kept screen elements more or less the same size regardless of how large or small your device was but nougat resolves this problem by making it easy to shrink things down if you're one of the unfortunate people who bought one of these or enlarged them if you're rocking a tiny screen moving on one of the most important functions of any modern smartphone is to push notifications for things like email angry tweets and reminders about your dance card of dates that might stand you up nougats notification system has changed a fair bit including the iOS style ability to reply to things directly from the notification panel as well as easy access to the mute button for notifications if a newly installed app just won't shut the heck up and if you're getting multiple messages or emails you can now expand notifications to deal with each message individually without going fullscreen on the app continuing with the theme of doing things quickly your quick settings for a Wi-Fi removable storage etc now sit atop the notifications panel and if you don't like them there you can also customize your quick settings so it's a little bit easier to get to the things you use the most but UI upgrades aren't the only thing that you can find in nougat there are also enhanced security features the OS can now allow apps to access just one directory on your device to alleviate privacy concerns to a degree as well as offering file level encryption instead of whole device encryption which is helpful because older versions of Android would lock the entire phone on boot until you entered a password meaning you wouldn't get notifications after a cold start nougats file level encryption by contrast allows certain things to be accessible from the lock screen so you won't miss anything important after a reboot so you throw in some additional bells and whistles such as Vulkan API support at least on phones that ship with Android 7.0 a low latency visual mode to help phones play more nicely with VR headsets and a work mode that allows you to disable your job related apps with a single toggle so you can unplug when it's time to go home and nougat looks like it might add some real deliciousness to your mobile device just don't try to coach your phone in actual chocolate I mean who would do that speaking of delicious fresh books is on a mission to make freelancers lives less stressed and more organized and I guess if they
