The developer preview of Android O has been available for a little while now and there have been several changes introduced with the latest update of the mobile operating system, which is the now the world’s most popular operating system and is estimated to be used worldwide on approximately 1.4 billion devices. The major change that will affect users of services like LastPass, a password management service, is the introduction of an Autofill Framework which means that users can now securely save much more than just their passwords.

Android users will now receive “notification channels,” which is thought to deliver notifications in a bundle, rather than individually. The developer’s version hasn’t been released to the beta site yet – currently, the only way to try this preview is to download and flash it to your device which could potentially cause damage, or through the official Android emulator. There is no official release date yet for Android O, and Google haven’t yet confirmed what the name of the operating system will be when it’s released.
