Android 6.0 Marshmallow introduced several new features including an updated app drawer that scrolls vertically, "Doze" mode to improve battery life during periods of inactivity, automatic app data backup to Google Drive, adoptable storage to use external storage like internal storage, and improved cut, copy and paste functionality. It also allows deleting screenshots directly from notifications and rotates the home screen in landscape mode. Major manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, HTC, Motorola and others committed to releasing the update for many of their recent and popular devices.

2. Introduction
• Android 6.0 marshamallow is a new version of android used
as mobile operating system.
• It is officially released on 15 oct 2015.
• After very discussion its name is final as marshmallow instead
of milkshake.
• Google nexus series is first in queue to run it.

3. Features
App Drawer :-
• One of the most immediately obvious visual changes to Android 6.0 is the
new app drawer. This now scrolls vertically instead of horizontally, and is
held against a white background, rather than a muted shade of your
homepage wallpaper. Across the top of the menu you will see your four
most recently used apps.

4. Power and Charging :-
• We all hate running out of battery and Android Marshmallow wants
to ease our pain through a new function called Doze to improve
device standby time. By using motion detectors, Android will
recognize when a device hasn’t been interacted with for a while,
such as when a person is asleep or a phone has been left on a table,
and reduce background processes.
• Google tested two Nexus 9 devices, one running Lollipop and one
running the Android M preview, and learned that Android M will
provide up to twice as much standby time. Even in Doze mode,
though, Android can still start alarms or notify you of priority
notifications.
• Android Marshmallow also supports USB Type-C, which provides
faster charging, and lets users charge other devices with their
phone.

5. Auto app data back up :-
• The new app backup feature on Android Marshmallow will, in time,
be very useful. It creates a copy of practically everything an app
needs to be reinstalled and pick up where it left off. All the data is
backed up to Google Drive, where it can be plucked and placed on a
new or reset device. So all your data, settings and passwords go
back to where they were as if nothing ever happened.

6. Adoptable storage Devices :-
• Adoptable Storage Devices is Google's new storage feature which
essentially takes an external storage source (such as an SD card or USB
drive) and formats it like an internal storage space. This means that app
and personal data can be moved freely between a devices internal storage
and its 'adopted' storage source.
• Adopted storage devices are wrapped in a layer of encryption to soothe
security concerns and both microSD cards and USB OTG drives are
currently supported.

7. Delete screenshots
• The second version of the Android M developer preview added a new
delete option to the screenshot preview in the notifications shade.
Previously you just had the option to share a screenshot from the
notifications. Now you can delete it as well.
Rotating home screen
• A surprisingly slow feature to make it to Android, the screen rotation
function for the home screen has finally made an appearance. Now you
can use your phone in landscape format both in apps and on the home
screen.

8. Improved cut, copy and paste
• When you select text on a current Android device, a series of confusing
icons appears at the top of the screen, and figuring out what they all
do takes trial-and-error. In Android Marshmallow, the words 'cut', 'copy'
and 'paste' will simply float above selected text, making the process much
simpler.
Network Settings Reset option
• Hidden away in the Backup and Reset settings is another new feature
called Network Settings Reset. This lets you instantly wipe all of your
network settings, including Wi-Fi connections, cellular data and Bluetooth
connections.
