Android M has been officially unveiled at Google IO 2015, with the search giant revealing a host of juicy details about its latest software update.
Google says it's squashed thousands of bugs and has gone back to the basics by adding polish and quality to Android M.
It's brought in a standard for fingerprint scanning with Android M allowing users to pay for Google Play purchases and unlock their devices with even more ease.
There's also support for Android Pay – another new feature announced at the launch – which lets you simply and safely pay in store with your NFC enabled phone.
Pay with your finger
Android Pay and the fingerprint scanning API are open to developers too, allowing them to build support for both into their own applications.
It's made app permissions more intuitive, giving users the option to allow/deny specific permissions within an app. You can even revoke access for a particular permission by diving into the settings if you accidentally allowed it.
This is just an overview of some of the new features Google has revealed in its Android M developer preview, which is available to devs from today.
For the rest of us we'll have to wait for it to land on our devices, with an Android M release date slated for Q3 (August-September) this year.
