Android Nougat - How to get the latest features BEFORE everyone else

ANDROID Nougat offers users the chance to get early trials, previews and access to apps that may not be publicly available yet.

Users will be able to get a sneak peek at some of the latest Android apps
Android fans looking to stay updated on the latest apps will be able to get new upgrades faster than ever.

A new service is offering users the chance to get early access to the latest features and test builds of popular apps before the general public.

Best of all, your chance to try out the latest apps and features is completely free.

The service, launched by American tech site Android Police writer Corbin Davenport and called Toolbox for Google Play Store, is available now.

Toolbox adds in a new button on the Play Store download page that will allow users to see whether the apps have any beta versions available.

Many developers run beta test programs on their apps to try out new features or tools before releasing them to the general public.

Toolbox is now able to give you a link to sign up for any betas, and also directs you to where you can download the most modern version immediately.

The launch could be particularly useful for Android Nougat users, who will be looking to get the latest version of their favourite apps.

However many companies have been forced to re-jig their apps in order to make them compatible with Google's new software.

The launch comes soon after Google revealed a major shakeup in how it processes and lets users download apps.

The online giant's new system for updating Android apps is reportedly able to greatly reduce the amount of data needed to do so.

Users can save up to 65 per cent for many popular apps, and as high as 90 per cent for some cases - meaning customers use up less of their data allowance when updating.

Google also recently revealed that it was rolling out Android Nougat 7.1 to its Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P smartphones, Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 tablets, and Pixel C laptop -  as well as the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones.

Android 7.1 comes with a variety of new fetaures, including the ability to add app shortcuts directly from your home screen, simply by long pressing the app icon, allowing certain options to be accessed quickly and easily.

Also included is a restart button in the power menu, which was missing from the initial Android Nougat release, and support for sending  stickers and GIFs in apps such as Google Allo, Google Messenger and Hangouts.

Google has also introduced a wide range of new and diverse emoji, including female versions of previous emoji that only had single-sex versions, like astronaut or rock star.
