The location restrictions can conveniently be applied to all apps. Thus, it seems that Google is all set to crack down the standby battery drainers.
- Option to Snooze Individual Notifications: Android Oreo is integrated with the latest option to snooze an individual feature. For instance, when you receive a message and not enough time to deal with it, all you need to do is simply swipe it to right and click the clock icon to snooze the notification. Users also have an opportunity to change the snooze length according to their choice.
- Easy Adjustment of Night Light: Night light is undoubtedly, one of the favorable features in Android Nougat. Google, however, had no control over it. This has changed in Android 8. Simply go the ‘Display’ tab in the ‘Settings’ app and just below the ‘Night light’ toggle, you will come across the new intensity slider. The higher you turn up the slider the lesser blue light is emitted.
- Micro Storage Controls: When the storage of the phone starts to fill up, Android 8 Oreo makes it much easier to clear away the cached files. Earlier, the storage menu had basic categories but now there are specific categories such as ‘TV Apps’ or ‘Games’. You can select these categories and exactly identify where the storage space is being used. Thus, it gets easier to clear away all the cache and junk files.
