What's new in Android 10?
After upgrading, you'll see the following improvements to the Android operating system and other apps.
Volume controls
Adjust any volume without leaving the screen you’re on. After you press a Volume button and touch the
icon, all volume sliders appear on the screen. Learn more.
Navigation
Gestures: Moving between apps and screens is even easier with new gestures:
•
Go home - Swipe up from the bottom of our screen to go to your home screen.
•
Go back - Swipe towards the middle from the left or right edge to go back to the last screen.
•
Switch between recent apps - Swipe up from the bottom of your screen, hold, then release. While using
an app, you can also swipe the bar at the bottom of the screen left or right to switch between apps.
The and icons and gestures from previous Android versions are still available if you prefer those.
Learn more about navigation options.
Peeking: For apps that have a sidebar, you can open the sidebar with a gesture. Touch & hold your
finger on the very edge of your screen for a second, until you see the bar peeking in from the side, then
swipe to open the sidebar.
System-wide dark mode
Give your eyes (and battery) a break with the new system-wide dark mode:
•
Easily turn Dark theme on/off by adding it to quick settings.
•
If this isn’t your default mode and you're low on charge, Battery Saver starts Dark theme and stops it
automatically when the phone has charged.
Notification improvements
Automatically organize and minimize distraction, with improved notification management:
•
Be notified by the things that matter most. You can mark notifications as Silent or Alerting. Silent
notifications won’t make a noise or appear on your lock screen, so you can focus on what needs your
attention. They are grouped together and you can dismiss them individually or as a group.
•
All notifications now include suggested actions. For example, if a friend sends an address, you’ll see a
suggestion to open the address in Maps.
•
Android 10 uses on-device machine learning to predict what you’ll type next and suggest responses that
are tailored to the messages you receive. In addition to Google messaging apps, this works with
notifications from non-Google apps, including WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
•
Notification snoozing is optional but disabled by default. Learn more.
•
Music notifications have a progress bar.
