Good news for owners of the LG G3 on T-Mobile and AT&T as both carriers have started to roll out the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update to the handset.
Verizon released the Android Marshmallow update for the LG G3 earlier this year and now AT&T and T-Mobile have released Android 6.0.
New Features in Android 6.0 Marshmallow
The Android Marshmallow update brings a wide range of new features to the LG G3 on both AT&T and T-Mobile. One of the most notable features is the improved app permissions system, which gives users more control over the permissions that apps request. This means you can now allow or deny specific permissions for each app, enhancing your privacy and security.
Another significant feature is the Doze mode, which helps to extend battery life by putting your device into a deep sleep state when it is not being used. This can significantly reduce battery drain and improve the overall performance of your device.
Additionally, Android 6.0 introduces Google Now on Tap, a feature that provides contextual information based on the content currently displayed on your screen. For example, if you are reading an article about a movie, you can long-press the home button to get more information about the movie, including reviews, trailers, and showtimes.
How to Update Your LG G3
AT&T has released the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update as an over-the-air (OTA) update, which means you can download and install it directly on your device without needing a computer. To check if the update is available for your handset, go to the settings menu on your device, select “About phone,” and then “Software updates.” If the update is available, you will see an option to download and install it.
T-Mobile, on the other hand, has initially released the update via the LG PC Suite, a software application that you can install on your computer to manage your device. To update your LG G3 using the LG PC Suite, connect your device to your computer using a USB cable, open the LG PC Suite, and follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the update. The over-the-air update is also expected to hit T-Mobile shortly, so keep an eye out for notifications on your device.

Additional Improvements and Enhancements
Beyond the major features, Android 6.0 Marshmallow also brings several smaller improvements and enhancements to the LG G3. For instance, the update includes better support for fingerprint sensors, allowing for more secure and convenient unlocking of your device and authentication for apps and services.
The update also introduces a new memory manager that provides detailed information about the memory usage of your apps, helping you identify and manage apps that consume excessive resources. This can lead to a smoother and more responsive user experience.
Moreover, the update includes various performance improvements and bug fixes that address issues reported by users in previous versions of the operating system. These enhancements contribute to a more stable and reliable device performance.
