Google has announced the latest version of Android,

Google has redesigned how App
Permissions work. Presently, users
either have a choice between
accepting all the permissions
requested by an app in order to install
it, or simply choose not to install the
app altogether. With Android M, users
will be able to modify individual app
permissions with ease.

update, making it more powerful than
ever. The digital assistant is getting a
new feature called 'Now on Tap' that
aims to suggest relevant apps based
on your context. For example, if
someone using WhatsApp asked you
to meet up for dinner at a restaurant,
Google Now will show reviews of the
restaurant, as well as suggest apps to
the user using which you could book a
table at said restaurant.

Android M will be the first version of
Android that supports fingerprints at
the API level. That means if your
phone has a fingerprint scanner,
apps can use your fingerprint for
authorization instead of a password
or PIN. This includes apps like
password managers, as well as for
payments, like with Android Pay.
