Multitasking is an increasingly used feature on our smartphones. But the reality is that currently, this option is not well developed, and sometimes using two apps at the same time can be a real odyssey.
But one of the new features of Android O has the name of Fluid Experiences, and is aimed at ending this problem.
Fluid Experiences: a new way to use mobile with Android O
Small windows to do several things at once
What Google proposes is that we can have several small windows open, to be able to do different things at the same time.
For example, imagine that you are watching a video on Youtube and you want to tweet about it. Well, the video app would become a small window in which the playback would continue, while you calmly browse Twitter and tweet at will.
This option will allow us to perform two tasks at the same time, in a much more efficient way than at present. And it is that, although the multitasking function has always been present in Android, it is true that it left a lot to be desired.
In the hands of app developers
It will be the android application developers who will decide whether or not to use this Fluid Experiences option in their creations.
So, for example, if we want to see a series in Netflix and at the same time comment on it through Facebook Messenger, it will be necessary for one of the developers of both apps to decide to implement it, although the reality is that it is quite likely that they will do so.
Notification points
Another aspect that we can enjoy thanks to the Fluid Experiences in android O, is the appearance of some balloons on the applications in which if we leave our finger pressed, we can see what is happening in that app.
In this way, it will not be necessary for us to open the notification window to be aware of the latest news.
smart clipboard
Another very interesting point is the one that will allow us to revolutionize the function of copy and paste text, to make it easier.
Thus, with just a simple touch, we can select everything that is related to this word, such as a complete address or a compound name. In this way, copying and pasting documents in our Android mobile It will be easier than ever or at least that is what they say with the arrival of Android 8.
Now that you know that Fluid Experiences are coming, a new way of using Android O mobile phones, do you think they will considerably improve your user experience in Android 8? We invite you to stop by our comments section and tell us your opinion about this new feature.
