Expandable notifications allow users to see more information about a notification without having to open the app. Heads-up notifications appear over other apps and cannot be dismissed until they are dealt with.
- The lockscreen was redesigned, with new features such as widgets and the ability to take screenshots.
- The Doze feature helps to extend battery life by putting the device into a low-power state when it is not being used. Doze is triggered when the device is idle for a period of time, and it can be further customized by users.
