Google launches Android 9 Pie: Adaptive Battery, Improved Privacy; All that’s new

Google has released its latest version of Android Operating System -- Android 9 Pie, which harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to predict how users would like to experience their devices while offering a smoother navigation system and an easier way to track and limit usage of apps. "Android 9 aims to make your phone even smarter by learning from you and adapting to your usage patterns," said Sameer Samat, Vice President of Product Management, Android and Google Play. Google said "Digital Wellbeing" is now available in beta for Pixel phones running Android 9, and will be officially available in the next few months. Google said Android P also brings a redesigned Quick Settings that offers among other things a better way to take and edit screenshots, simplified volume controls, and an easier way to manage notifications. "With Android 9 we have made software more secure from Code-reuse attacks, and installed features which add a layer of security to biometrics," Google said.
