Lollipop Far Advanced Than Kitkat? Here Are 10 Exciting New Features
Kill Switch And Improved Security
The Android 5.0 Lollipop will come with an opt-in kill switch, which is also the Factory Reset Protection that allows users to wipe out the device's data on permission. Once a user activates this feature, they will have to enter their Google login for this application to function in which it reset the device when the phone’s pass code is enabled. The KitKat version didn’t have any factory reset inbuilt and had to download security apps from the store, and this new application in the latest version of the OS will further help users to protect data on lost or stolen devices.
Notification Panel
Needless to say, most of us knew that this was coming. Unlike Kitkat, the new update allows users to view and respond to messages directly from the locked screen. Google literally has gone ahead with notifications and included rich floating descriptive notifications on top of your activity, which allows the users to view or dismiss any notifications without moving away from a task.
This might be a problem around work spaces if you have some sensitive content unattended, and hence you also have an option to disable it by going to Settings–Sound and Notification–When device is Locked–Don’t show notifications at all.
