10 things to know about Android 10 – Available from today but only for Pixel owners until other phones roll it out slowly

I’ve been testing the beta version of Android 10 for a few months and we’ve had quite a few teething issues around all the new security and privacy restrictions. Many were breaking functionality on apps that run in the background as well as doing screen overlays. I almost came to the point of abandoning it and reverting to LineageOS instead. But Google did backtrack on some critical issues and refined others like the gesture control.

Overall though we certainly have vastly improved control over permissions and notifications, and performance and battery life have improved too. It is certainly well worth going for the upgrade when it is available. And of course, there is Dark Theme, including the boot screen, which I’ve really been loving.
