T-Mobile has announced that it has released the Android Nougat update for the Google Nexus 9 tablet. This update brings a wide range of new features and improvements to the device, enhancing the overall user experience.
The Android Nougat update has been released as an over-the-air (OTA) update for the Nexus 9 tablet on T-Mobile. This means that users can download and install the update directly on their devices without needing to connect to a computer.
New Features and Improvements
The update brings the device to Android 7.1.1 and includes the December security update. Android 7.1.1 Nougat introduces several new features and enhancements that improve the functionality and performance of the Nexus 9. Some of the key features include:
1. App Shortcuts: This feature allows users to launch specific actions within an app directly from the home screen. By long-pressing an app icon, users can access shortcuts to frequently used functions, making navigation quicker and more efficient.
2. Improved Notifications: Android Nougat offers bundled notifications, which group multiple notifications from the same app together. This makes it easier to manage and respond to notifications. Additionally, users can now reply to messages directly from the notification shade without opening the app.
3. Multi-Window Support: One of the most anticipated features of Android Nougat is the ability to run two apps side by side in split-screen mode. This is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing users to browse the web while watching a video or use a messaging app while checking emails.
4. Enhanced Doze Mode: Doze mode, which helps save battery life by putting the device into a low-power state when not in use, has been improved in Android Nougat. The updated Doze mode activates even when the device is in motion, further extending battery life.
5. Data Saver: This feature helps users manage their data usage by restricting background data for apps. When Data Saver is enabled, apps can only use background data when connected to Wi-Fi, helping users stay within their data limits.
