Android Nougat: A Rich Experience to User

Android 7.0 – 7.1.2 "Nougat is the seventh major version of the Android operating system.
Nougat introduces notable changes to the operating system and its development platform, including the ability to display multiple apps on-screen at once in a split-screen view, support OpenJDK-based Java environment and Vulkan graphics rendering API, and "seamless" system updates on supported devices which makes it easy to use and more user friendly.

Features

The OS that speaks your languages

Bring your words to life with updated and entirely new emoji, and the ability to use two or more languages at the same time.
New Emoji :- Over 1500 emoji including 72 new ones. Android Nougat includes the latest and greatest Emoji approved by the powers that be, including bacon! Beyond the latest and greatest emoji baked right in to Android, you'll also notice Google has reworked most of the emoji included on its mobile devices. Smiley faces now have a more human look and feel to them

Multi Locale language settings:- It makes it simple to switch between multiple languages and input methods. This is useful if you have to write in multiple scripts. You can switch the keyboards by pressing the keys on the on-screen keyboard itself and without venturing into the settings every time. You can just set the definite set of languages and keyboards, and switching is just pressing a button. As an example, it means you can switch between English, Japanese, and Mandarin from the keyboard app itself.

Multi-window view :- To activate multi-window mode, long-press on the recent apps button. Whichever app you’re 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

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.

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 you’re 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.

Drag and drop text, images in 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 they’ve been updated for the latest of Google’s wares.

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 you’ll see the source of the app’s installation. For example, if it was installed from the Play Store it will say as much. If it's something you side loaded, it will state something along the lines of "Installed from Package Installer."
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 you’re 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.

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 you’re actively using it.

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 you’re 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 you’re currently using.
