Right now only another minor update remains for occurring after the Android 7.1.1 OTAs were released yesterday, the penultimate of those four updates that have brought a good variety of bug fixes and small news to the most installed mobile operating system on the planet.
Google took up its own blog to advertise the three novelties most important of an Android 7.1.1 that, apart from incorporating them, brings solutions to bugs so that the system even improves in performance. As the big G claims, 7.1.1 incorporates more ways to express yourself and some of the features of the Pixel.
The first is related to emojis. Earlier this year, Google promised more gender equality and the representation of a wide range of professions for both male and female. Now the counterpart of representations that were only for men or women are included. This pack is now available for all devices that have Android 7.1.1.
The second feature that arrives is the incorporation of the sending of GIFs directly from the keyboard in apps that support it such as Google Allo, Google Messenger and Hangouts. We do not know if it will be allowed to take this API to the rest of third-party keyboards that populate the Google Play Store, although it would not be surprising if they were added in those SwiftKey and others.
Por último, la 7.1.1 brings the app shortcuts or shortcuts from the home screen. With a long press, you can access quick actions from different apps such as Twitter or Google Maps from the desktop itself. A good way to jump to YouTube search or tweet from Twitter.
