Notification Dots

Do you, like us, tend to lose track of your notifications? Android O is here to help with new Notification Dots. If you’ve got a notification waiting for you in one of your apps, a little dot will appear near the top right corner of the app icon. Once you’ve cleared the notification, or removed it from your notification bar, the dot will also disappear.​

App Shortcuts

The new long-press feature allows you to quickly use specific app features instantly. For instance, you can long-press the Gmail icon to jump right into a new email. We adapted the original Android feature and re-designed the UI and UX to ensure compatibility with the design of OxygenOS.​

New Camera UI Design

In previous versions of our camera UI, you had to swipe right to open the options menu, which contained the slow motion, pro mode and time-lapse tools, as well as the settings menu. This gesture proved a little challenging when using your phone with one hand. To make the experience more intuitive, you can now access the options menu by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.​

Beauty Filter for Portrait Mode

On top of the depth-of-field effect you’re familiar with, Portrait Mode is becoming even more flexible thanks a new ‘Beauty Filter’ feature. Selfie lovers are probably familiar with our Beauty Filter, which gently fades uneven spots and blemishes for a fairer photo. If our Beauty Filter isn’t for you, feel free to disable it on the lower right corner of Portrait Mode.​

Places tab for viewing photos on a map

We're always looking for new ways and features to offer our users more benefits. The new Places tab found in our gallery app makes it easy to sort your favorite travel memories, by recording where you've been and what you've seen. Can’t find this option? Make sure "Store location data" is enabled in camera settings.​

New Quick Setting Layout

To offer more quick setting options, we adjusted the layout of the quick setting bar, updating the number of displayed quick setting icons to 12. This layout is a little more compact than the previous one, but it should be more convenient.​
