Android 5.0 Lollipop update

With the Android

5.0 Lollipop update, enjoy enhancements to some of your favorite features.

Here are some of the changes:

Bolder, user-centered design

Google

®

apps take on a new, colorful, and responsive design that brings a consistent, intuitive

experience across Android devices. The design elements extend to the Android user interface. For a
start, check out the revamped Recent apps screen or the Notifications panel.

More control over notifications

Choose which apps to get notifications from. This is helpful if you want to limit the notifications
that show on the lock screen. See

Choosing what notifications to show on the lock screen

on page

62.

Get back to recent apps after a reboot

When you restart your phone in earlier Android versions, all your recently opened apps will be
cleared. In Lollipop, they're still be present on the Recent apps screen after a reboot.

Easier sharing with Android Beam

Using Android Beam

is simpler than ever as it's now an option in the share menu. It makes it

convenient to share whenever another NFC-enabled device is nearby.

This feature may not be available on all phones.

Searchable settings

Overwhelmed with the options that you can change in Settings? Use the new search bar in Settings
to quickly find the relevant option.

Smart Lock

Set up your phone to unlock the screen just by detecting your face. Or you can use another trusted
device, such as your car's Bluetooth

®

system, to unlock your phone once they're connected. See

Setting up Smart Lock

on page 175.
