About Android 6.0, Marshmallow
Marshmallow is the latest version of Android, the operating system that
powers phones, tablets, watches, TVs, cars, and more.
This book introduces the Android 6.0 software on your Nexus or Android
One phone or tablet. For hardware details, visit support.google.com/
android. There, you can nd comprehensive information about all types
of Android phones and tablets, including more details about Nexus
devices and other versions of Android.

What’s new in 6.0
Marshmallow includes new features and updates to make your device
work better:
• Search for anything in your photos & use free, unlimited photo storage
• Easier ways to manage interruptions
• Ability to increase storage space on some devices with an SD card
• Now on Tap: suggestions from Google Now related to what’s on your
screen (available only in some locales)
• Longer-lasting battery with Doze, App Standby, and other battery
optimizations

Get started
When you rst turn on your phone or tablet, you’ll see a Welcome screen.
Choose the language you want and touch the arrow to continue.
IMPORTANT: To complete the setup process, it’s best to have a
Wi-Fi connection.
Sign in to your account
When prompted, sign in with your Google Account or create one. Signing
in lets you immediately access everything associated with your Google
Account, like Gmail and Calendar.
TIP: If you have another Android device, Tap & Go lets you quickly
set up a new device just by holding the two devices back to back
and slowly sliding one up and down against the other. Google
Accounts and apps that were already backed up will automatically
be copied over to the new device.
An email address used for any of the following counts as a Google
Account:
• Gmail
• YouTube
• Google Play
• Google Apps
• AdWords
• Any other Google product

When you sign in, you can easily get all the apps you’ve purchased on
Google Play onto your new device. All the email, contacts, calendar
events, and other data associated with that account are automatically
synced with your device.
For example, if you change a friend’s phone number on your phone, that
change also appears on your tablet and on any computers where you’re
signed in to your Google Account.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you remember the password you use to
sign into your device or else you won’t be able to access it. Even if
you do a factory reset, you will be required to enter the password
you used to sign into this device.
Have multiple Google Accounts? You can add other accounts later from
Settings > Personal > Accounts. You can also add guest users in
Settings > Device > Users.
