Google Now On Tap

It is the best feature in our list of Features Of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. One of the best things we have in the Android 6.0 Marshmallow is One On Tap. Google Now on Tap allows users to get additional information, take actions or navigate between apps without conducting a formal search. It makes “search” the connective tissue between app experiences on Android.

Eg. If you’re watching a YouTube video of a famous actor, just call up Google Now to get more information about that person. “We spend a lot of time trying to get answers to quick questions and figuring out next steps, and we wanted to make that a lot easier.” said Google demonstrator at Google IO 2015.

Revamped App Permissions

Now you can give the permissions while using that feature in the particular app. You don’t need to give or grant more permissions while installing it. Apps can trigger requests for permissions at runtime, in the right context, and users can choose whether to grant the permission.

Making permission requests right when they’re needed means users can get up and running in your app faster. Also, users have easy access to manage all their app permissions in settings. As more devices upgrade to M, app permission behavior will be a critical development flow to test.
