Android Oreo updates New improvements:

• App Drawer - Now users can swipe up to open up the app drawer from anywhere on the screen.

• Notification dots on apps - if an app has an update, users will be able to just long press on it and a small menu will pop up which will show the latest notification, shortcuts, along with app Info on top. Users can just go to settings and enable it from Apps & Notifications>Notifications> Allow notifications dots and then enable the app in question. 

• Picture-in-Picture mode - Currently, only the VLC and YouTube have this feature live, though YouTube Red subscription is needed for the same. Picture-in-picture will display the content over a floating window while letting a user perform other tasks. 

• Autofill framework - This will allow apps to create and maintain their own list of auto-fill data, populate it when required. Users can change setting from the ‘Autofill service’ in Languages & input in settings. However, only Google’s service is using this feature for now on the Mi A1 smartphone.
