Android 8.0

Android™8.0 brings new features that make working with apps and settings even more convenient.

Here's an overview of some of its new features.

Picture-in-picture

Want to watch a video while using another app at the same time?

Use the picture-in-picture feature to minimize the video into a

small window. For details, see Using picture-in-picture on page

71.

Snooze notifications

Temporarily dismiss notifications to free your Notifications panel or Lock screen from clutter.

For details, see Managing app notifications on page 28 or Lock screen on page 19.

Icon badges

Know right away if you have pending notifications for an app with icon badges. A small dot appears

on an app icon which indicates there is a notification that you may have missed. Dots appear on app

icons in both the All apps screen and on the Home screen. Press and hold the app icon to show a

condensed version of the available notifications. See Turning icon badges on or off on page 28.

few letters of the setting you're looking for. In the results list, tap the item that you want to go

files, such as copy, move, and delete. From the Home screen, swipe up and then find and tap

Files.

Designed with you in mind, HTC U12 life is loaded with HTC apps that make your phone unique and

truly personal.
