There are several other features too.

Once you’re done, exit the Settings app and enjoy your newfound mastery of Android Marshmallow’s notification system. They’ll be there, waiting for you when you wake up, but your phone will not light up the screen, make a noise, or vibrate. Therefore, you will have to look for alternative apps to provide you with the financial data needed to make better decisions where investments are concerned. You will also need to download and install TWRP recovery, so that you can backup all the data from your device.
If Google has an Achilles heel, it’s mobile search, but in reality it is also PC search. A new feature, available on around 100 of the most popular apps, called Now on Tap brings Google functionality to third-party apps.
Instead, Marshmallow only asks for your permission when it needs to. Sometimes the first boot after an update takes a long time. Now on Tap is basically Google Now that has been on Lollipop and Google Now launchers for quite a few time now, but with content identification. (That is, unless your auto mysteriously comes with a USB-C connection.) So, you’ll need a USB C-to-A cable or adapter for that.
It is not possible in Android to test an app on all running devices because of fragmentation, which means the storage space on a device is used inefficiently, reducing performance and capacity.
Managing default apps is a bit of a mess in Android at the moment (but at least it’s there right, iOS fans?) and Marshmallow tries to help without actually doing much good.
Arthur says, “there is no obvious way of changing the present behaviour while users are so addicted to apps on their phones – and there’s no sign of that changing any time soon”. Android was always capable and customisable, now it’s also a premium software experience. But in order to do that, you will have to ensure that you credit card is linked to your Google Play account.
Fingerprint scanners have been on Android phones for a while now, but Marshmallow is the first time they will be used properly. It conveys a more secure system where your fingerprint will be necessary to unlock your device, authorize transactions in the Google Play store or sign in to third-party apps. The seamless sync in between the mobile, tablet, and desktop apps makes the Wunderlist a must have application for the To-Dos.
