Android's latest upgrade is Android 7.0 Nougat. The update is not a revolutionary break from 6.0 Marshmallow; however it still comes packed with some helpful little surprises. The Android Nougat rollout is already shaping up.

There are 9 best features hidden in the Android 7.0 Nougat. The features are described below, as reported by pcmag.

1. Split-Screen Mode

Split-screen works in portrait and landscape modes. This you can use, when you have one app open, you can simultaneously access another app by long-pressing the recent apps button to prompt a carousel of apps on the side.

Split-screen functionality might not seem all that new since it's already available in numerous OEM versions but now it's available as a stock feature and may be coming to your device soon eventually maybe.

2. Quick Switch

Android 7.0 Nougat allows you to switch back and forth between the two most recent apps by double tapping the recent app button. It works in split-screen or full-app mode.

3. The Secret 'UI Tuner'

To enable the hidden "UI Tuner" menu, you have to swipe down the notification shade and long-press the gear icon you would use to get to Settings. You'll get a new menu in your Settings menu under the "System" section.

4. Easy Pull-Down Shade Editing

The easy pull-down shade allows you to swipe left or right to multiple pages to access more tiles. With this you could, theoretically put all your tiles up there for quick access.

5. Power Notifications

First, you'll need to enact the aforementioned hidden UI Tuner and then toggle-on "Power notification controls". This will give you the opportunity to set app notifications on a scale from Level 0 (Block all notifications) all the way up to Level 5 (Show at the top of the notification list, allow full-screen disruption).

6. Easy Notification Editing

Android Nougat also gives you the ability to easily access app-notification preferences by long-pressing on a particular notification in the pull-down shade or slightly pushing it to either side to reveal a little gear icon. This trick even works on the lock screen.

7. Set a Separate Wallpaper for Lock and Home Screens

You can now change the "display" size on your device to embiggen all the text and icons. Access this option via Display > Display size to choose between five different settings.

8. Display Size

With Android Nougat update you can now change the "display" size on your device to embiggen all the text and icons. Access this option via Display > Display size to choose between five different settings.

9. Easter Egg

The last two Android OSes have boasted hidden Flappy Bird games with either Marshmallow or Lollipop themes. It was super hard, and always just got bored and frustrated. But new Nougat changes it up with some kind of weird cat game.
