What's new
Android 7.0 Nougat

even more convenient.
Multi-tasking made easy
Aside from flipping through running apps, there are faster ways to use the RECENT
APPS button for switching between apps.
§Want to watch a video while chatting at the same time? Use the split-screen
view to display two running apps side by side.
§Quickly switch to the previous app with a double tap.
For details, see Multi-tasking on page 173.
Enhanced notifications
See incoming information on a notification without having to open an app. If you
received a new message, you can directly send a reply right from the notification. See
Notifications panel on page 53.
What's new 17

Improved settings
§Limit how much mobile data your phone uses. When you turn Data Saver on,
apps in the background won't be able to use the data connection unless you've
set these apps to access mobile data. See Data Saver on page 219.
§Use the Quick Settings bar to toggle Wi-Fi®and other quick settings on and off.
See Using Quick Settings on page 47.

slideout menu that you can open anytime to directly access the main settings.
See Getting to know your settings on page 46.
§At the top of the Settings screen, see suggestions for how to get more out of
your phone.
§Aside from changing the font size, you can also adjust the display size of items
