Android o

The Android Developers Blog has a good overview of the preview releases. I'm linking both since they do build on each other:

O-MG, the Developer Preview of Android O is here!
What’s New in Android: O Developer Preview 2 & More


The highlights, just off the top of my head:
  • Good luck finding your way around the Settings menu - REARRANGE ALL THE THINGS
  • Press the Home button while viewing a Youtube video to activate Picture-in-Picture mode
  • Use AutoFill to log into apps with the passwords you've stored in Chrome
  • See improved security info at Settings > Security & Location
  • Tinker with the navbar layout in SystemUI Tuner

Do you know if the YouTube pip feature is supposed to be available in the UK. It's not working for me. I've uninstalled updates for YouTube but still don't work. Somewhere online said I need a YouTube red subscription (which isn't available in the UK)

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. You may want to ask in the Android Beta Program community on Google+:

PIP is only available if you pay for a YouTube subscription, which, is a huge disappointment.
