Google today has released the final version of Android 10 today!
It’s available now for all of Google’s own Pixel phones, and will be available for other phones in the coming weeks and months. The new OS offers a system-wide dark mode, new gesture navigation, and new privacy controls, among many features and improvements.
The new gesture navigation, a swipe in from the left or right edge of the screen performs the “back” action, while a swipe up from the bottom edge takes users to the home screen. Some apps will need to be updated to avoid triggering the back action accidentally.
Users will also be notified when an app requests location data while running in the background, and users can decline those requests.
Google recently changed the version naming scheme for Android, switching to simple numbers instead of letters and dessert names.
