Although the official name for Android Q is still not revealed, its presence is worth the wait.

Reporting from Digital Trends on Friday (1/18/2019), the next generation operating system, Android Q, is rumored to be offering several new features, such as the dark theme, changing permissions on Android, and desktop mode.

According to reports from XDA Developers, dark themes can be accessed throughout the system through Display settings on Android.

The duration in dark mode can also be set according to a user-specified schedule and can be activated continuously.

Interestingly, it is possible that the mode will work on applications that do not have their own dark mode feature.

This feature can make the user's eyes not hurt when using the device in a dark room. In addition, it can save battery life on cellphones with an OLED display.


2. Change Permissions on Android

Google has completely changed how licensing works on Android. According to the XDA Developers report , for example permissions on location features can be limited only "when the application is being used," something iOS has actually had for some time.

In the settings menu, users can also see a graph of "permission usage". The graph shows which permissions are being used at a certain time.


3. Desktop Mode

There is a developer option called force desktop mode . The description of the feature says experimental desktop mode in the secondary screen display.

In the experiment, the feature cannot be fully activated because Google is still in the development stage for Android Q.

In addition, there are a number of additional developer options for things that support multi-windows and an option for "Game Update Package Preferences" which allows users to choose a graphics driver .
