6 Reasons to Try the Android P Beta & 4 Reasons Not to

Install Android P For New Features

You'll want to try Android P if you like living on the edge and want to test out all of the new features. And while most manufacturers will change a few things here and there, this is a great place to start.

While Google only showed off a few features at I/O, being the 5th preview almost nothing is a secret. We know Android P will focus heavily on making devices smarter, improve battery life, and give us better and smarter notifications. We're seeing a lot of AI smarts, quality of life improvements, and smarter battery management. In addition to the sweet new Gesture controls.

One big aspect is how messaging apps work with notifications. You'll now be able to see images, gifs, stickers and more inside the notification bar. Along with a pretty big preview, before you ever open a message. Everything is just smarter, faster, and easier to use. And that includes the in-line reply feature. Google improved the Notification Channels from Android 8.0 Oreo into something even more useful, and this is just the beginning. Still, out of all of the new features, messaging is something people will use the most.

Sadly, we still can't access the digital wellbeing features.
