Android 10 is the 17th official version of the Android operating system. Today, we will see the best news in Android 10, which, although they are few, are well worth trying.
What’s new in Android 10 that you have to try
Among the most important changes included in the update to Android 10 are the dark theme, navigation by gestures, or the possibility of sharing Wi-Fi networks by QR codes, among others. Let’s see them all one by one.
Dark theme
How could it be otherwise? The dark theme is the first novelty of Android 10 that you should try as soon as you have installed the new version on your mobile. After years of waiting, Google has finally decided to introduce a night mode that modifies the interface’s colors to improve contrast, visibility in low-light environments, and even the autonomy of the device itself.
To activate the dark theme, you have to follow the steps indicated in our guide, including accessing the screen settings and choosing the “Dark” option in the “Theme” section.
If you want to get even more out of this function, remember that you can also automatically activate and deactivate the dark theme according to the time of day, and even activate the dark theme in all Google apps – although in this case, it should be activated automatically once you have the option enabled in system settings–.
Gesture navigation
Google has already tried it with a pseudo-gesture navigation system in Android 9 Pie. Still, it was not until Android 10 that it implemented a mature enough gesture system. It may not be as fluid or intuitive as in the iPhone X and iPhone 11 Pro series models. Still, it certainly represents a breakthrough, and more importantly, an excellent alternative to replace the classic Android keypad.
At the time, we already prepared a guide with everything you should know about the Android 10 gestures, including the steps to learn how to use and activate them, and without a doubt, it should be one of your first stops once your mobile has Android 10…
Progress bar in multimedia notifications
Although easy to miss, the ability to scroll back and forth when playing media from the notification panel is one of the more convenient utilities included with the new version. The operation is simple: when playing a song or a video, swipe on the play bar in the notification.
Share Wi-Fi networks through QR codes
No more having to resort to third-party applications: Android 10 allows you to share passwords for Wi-Fi networks through QR codes so that other people can connect their mobiles to the same network without having to enter the password. On the mobile you want to connect, all you have to do is scan the QR code to connect it to the network.
Improved content sharing menu
Months before the launch of Android 10, one of the main leaders in the development of the operating system claimed that the Android share menu was a complete disaster and that updating it was one of the team’s priorities. Luckily, this great renovation came with Android 10, and now the menu to share content works much faster and even includes a preview of the content to be shared.
Location permissions only if apps are in use
Like every new version of Android released in recent years, Android 10 also includes improvements in privacy. One of the most interesting is the possibility of granting location permissions to apps only when they are being used and withdrawing them once they have been closed. It is possible to choose the type of permission the first time the application requests it or from the new “Permission management” menu within the “Privacy” section in the system settings…..
