What to Expect from the Android Marshmallow Update
The Android Marshmallow update brings a host of new features and improvements to the HTC One M8. Users can look forward to enhanced app permissions, which give them more control over what information apps can access. 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 improve battery life by putting the device into a deep sleep state when it is not being used. This can significantly extend the battery life of your HTC One M8, especially if you often leave your phone idle for extended periods.
Additionally, the update includes 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 hold the home button to get more information about the movie, including reviews, trailers, and showtimes.
How to Update Your HTC One M8
The update will be released as an over-the-air (OTA) update, which means you will receive a notification on your device when it is available. To check manually, you can go to the settings menu, select ‘About phone,’ and then ‘Software updates.’ If the update is available, you will be prompted to download and install it.
Before updating, it is recommended to back up your data to avoid any potential loss. Ensure your device is connected to Wi-Fi and has sufficient battery life, or plug it into a charger during the update process.
As soon as we get some more details on when the Android Marshmallow update is going live for the One M8 in the UK, we will let you guys know. The rollout is expected to be gradual, so it may take a few days for the update to reach all devices.
The HTC One M9 is also slated to receive the Marshmallow update shortly after the One M8. This update will bring similar improvements and features to the One M9, enhancing the overall user experience.
The Android Marshmallow update for the HTC One M8 is a significant upgrade that brings a range of new features and improvements. From better battery management to enhanced privacy controls, this update is set to make your HTC One M8 even more powerful and user-friendly. Stay tuned for more updates and enjoy the new features once the update is available for your device.
