A lot of new stuff like wallpapers, ringtones, boot animations and apps has grounded and is now available for download.
nexusNow, we are going to look into the Android M Developer Preview and will showcase how it looks from interior.

First of all starting with lock screen, lockscreen has changed and now you will see voice search icon instead of dialer app. Also new widgets have been introduced in the latest Android M. Even now date and time on the lock screen have got bold font.

Now coming into the home screen and the dock of the Android M, which seems to be more neat than the Android Lollipop. The big change is a switch from having pages of apps that you scroll horizontally between to having a continuously scrolling vertical list of apps. Google has made searching easier by giving alphabetic names while arranging the icons.

The most important things that Google announced yesterday about Android M was its permissions. Now you can toggle in between the different permissions for particular apps. The apps will ask for the permission while using the feature that needs permission. Like if you want to call from skype, it will ask for microphone access by popping up notification.
