Android 10 was launched back in 2019 with Pixels phones and slowly it kept on coming for other Android devices. The Android 10 update has a lot of features that help in improving the performance of the mobile phone.
If you just purchased a new phone or updated your android version to Android 10 then these are the functions and features that you should know about.
Wi-Fi and QR codes
Now you can create a QR code for your WI-FI network or if you want to join a WIFI network just scan a QR code from the Wi-Fi setting. To use the QR code functionality go to your Wi-Fi setting and choose home network, there you will see a share button with a small QR code.
Undo app removal
In iPhone when you delete a picture there is a folder from where you retrieve the deleted picture and you have 30 days to recover your file the same law was applicable here but for a short time span. In Android 10 when you remove an app accidently from your home screen and cannot remember which was the app then you can press the undo button in the button of the screen. Press and your app will be back from where you removed it. Remember the undo button will only last few seconds so act fast.
Location control
In previous Android versions, you installed an app and it asked for location permission then it kept location On whether you are using the application or not. Thanks to the Android 10 update now an app only access your location information when you use the application otherwise it will remain off. This will not just only improve battery life but also improve the privacy of the users.
Better notification controls
This feature may look small to many users but it is very important feature for those who have vast application on their mobile. In Android 10 when you long press any downloaded app it will pop up with two options one is Alerting and second is Silent.
If you press alert, you will receive app notification with sounds. If you select silent then the alert won’t make a sound or not even vibrate. It is very easy for Android users to customize the sound of the applications.
Live Caption
The Google developed live caption option for its users. You can give caption on any video which is being played and the fun fact is it does not require any data connection. Just press the volume button when video is played. The volume slider will show up and it will have a caption button at the button, tap that button and move your caption anywhere on the screen.
This feature was first only released on Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL and eventually, it came into Pixels lineup. Only the Galaxy 20 has this feature from Samsung brand.
Focus Mode
As the name is suggesting the mode will help you to focus on those ghost apps which consume your capacity and those apps which are diverting and hiding their notification.
