Google Android N Preview Released

Google’s Android developer website points out, “new for Android N is an Over-the-Air (OTA) update program that automatically delivers the latest preview updates of Android N directly to devices enrolled in the program
Google’s website also lists some new features in Android N that developers can test out. These include
multi-window support, which will show more than one app at a time, interactive notifications which allows users to respond to the alert from the notification shade itself, without going to the app itself.
Google’s Android N also come with more background optimisation, which includes new restrictions to limit implicit broadcasts.
There’s also a data saver feature, which users can enable in Android N to use less data. Google says that when a user enables Data Saver in Settings, and the device is on a metered network, the system blocks background data usage, and signals apps to use less data in the foreground wherever possible.
There’s also a Direct Boot feature in Android N and this mode is on when the device is on, but the user has not unlocked it. In order to support this, Google has included two storage locations for data.
