Google introduces Android 10 with dark mode and better privacy controls
Google began rolling out Android 10 on to Pixel smartphones and the newly launched mobile OS will be available on smartphones by other manufacturers later this year.
Google wrote in a blog post, Android 10 gives you greater protection, transparency, and control over your data. We also build new tools that people of all abilities, and help you find the right balance with technology.
As the Mountain View, California-based tech giant mentioned, Android 10 is loaded with features that are aimed at helping users keep their data safe and increase the ease of using Android smartphones. One of the biggest and most anticipated features of Android 10 is the dark mode, which can either be enabled for a specific apps such as Google Photos and Calendar or can be implemented on a system-wide basis.
Google said, it's easier on your eyes, and your phone battery too.
Apart from the dark mode, Android 10 comes with new gesture navigations that are designed to increase the fluidity between tasks.
The mobile OS, which was formerly called Android Q until Google officially announced that it was abandoning dessert names for good, comes with a bunch of privacy features that are aimed at giving users more control over their data. For starters, users can choose to share their location data with apps only while they are using them - a feature that is already available in iOS 12. Users will also get reminders when an app that they not using actively accesses their location so that they can decide if they want to continue sharing their location.
Android 10 is also big on Google's Digital Wellbeing features. Digital Wellbeing now includes a special Focus mode, which allows users to select the apps that they find distracting and silence them until they come out of the Focus mode. This feature, however, is available only in the beta mode as of now and the interested users need to become beta testers to use this feature.
