Subtle changes in Android 7.1.2 Nougat unraveled – GSM Helpdesk Netherlands

The first beta version of Android 7.1.2 Nougat is available only for participants in the beta program who have a recent Nexus or Pixel smartphone / tablet. With the release of this new Android version gave Google little about the content of the update. This is common because Google usually only after the release of the final version to make known what has changed and is improved.

Our colleagues from Android World already have a small list compiled with the changes that are found in Android 7.1.2 Nougat. As the version already reveals, is Android 7.1.2 Nougat a very small update for Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Think such a small difference in the version number indicates typically that there is no bugs and problems are fixed and minimal changes are made in the interface or functionality. Small versiewijzigingen as these are not normally used for new functionality to add. In that case, would Google work with a higher (sub) version number.

Live Wallpapers

The most important change in Android 7.1.2 Nougat is found is the possibility to decide where the Live Wallpapers will appear. Previously it was a Live Wallpaper automatically active on both the lock screen as on the desktop. In the new Android version can be a Live Wallpaper too specifically on only the desktop or only the lock screen can be set.

Profiles

also, are small changes found in the profile settings. The profiles, which allow automated or not the profile of the smartphone can be organized, now show the time remaining until the next set alarm / alarm clock. Also is displayed when that alarm clock or the alarm will go.

Respond from notifications

in addition, Google has a submit button included on the keyboard as soon as from the notification, a response is sent. Who, for example, a WhatsApp to ingest and this from the notification bar wants to answer, had to date, after typing the submit button in the notification bar to click. After the update to Android 7.1.2 Nougat is this submit button also the bottom right of the keyboard is present.

Availability

Android 7.1.2 Nougat is not yet available for regular smartphones. There is a chance that in next version, more improvements or minor feature changes to be implemented. Google test the new Android version are currently with developers and will the new Android version probably later this quarter. From that time, other smartphone manufacturers the new Android version for their devices.
