Google has officially announced what the M in Android M stands for, and it's Marshmallow. Here are the features you can expect from Android 6.0.
While Lollipop was a more design-centric update, Google says it's going back to basics with Android 6.0 Marshmallow and is focusing on polishing existing features and fixing thousands of bugs.
Some of the features will mean more to the developers that make the apps, but there's plenty still for Android phone and tablet users to look forward to.
Android M will start rolling out in early October with the Nexus 5X, the Nexus 6P and the rumoured HTC Aero among the first to get a taste of the new OS update. Here's the best of what we know about Android Marshmallow so far.
Watch our hands-on video with the new Nexus 5X
Android Pay
With the arrival of Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, Google is revamping its own mobile payment service it actually introduced back in 2010 with Android Gingerbread. Compatible with phones running on Android KitKat and above, Android Pay will let you walk into stores and tap on an NFC terminal to pay for products.
The process works by creating a virtual account number, which mean your actual number is not shared with the retailer. This aims to make the process more secure. It's set to work with 700,000 stores in the US and will work with existing credit and debit cards from the likes of Mastercard. For developers, they'll now also be able to introduce Android Pay inside apps to make purchasing quicker and easier.
Google's virtual assistant is arguably one of Android's best features and it's going to get even better in Android 6.0. Now you'll be able to get useful, contextual information on anything you have currently running on your phone screen. So if you're watching a video on YouTube, simply hold down on the home button to find out more information about someone in the video. Another example where on Tap could be useful is getting restaurant suggestions when you're talking about going out for dinner in a text message conversation.
Other additional Google Now improvements include the ability to say 'OK Google' wherever you are in the Android operating system.
We've all been there before. You go to install an app in the Google Play store and you're met with a long list of things the developer wants access to. To make it easier for users to keep track of what phone features can be accessed, permissions will now sit in specific categories like Sensor, Camera and Location.
Google used WhatsApp already downloaded to a phone as an example to showcase the new feature. When you need to use the microphone for a voice message, an app permission will appear prior to using the feature. If you grant access, you'll then be able to make a call.
Additionally, if you want to have a better idea of what app permissions you've granted, you'll now be able modify permissions within the phone settings.
While fingerprint technology is not really widespread on Android phones, Google is opening the necessary APIs to allow developers to add fingerprint support with any app. That improved biometric authentication will also be extended to Android Pay to authorise payments, making it work a lot like Apple Pay.
In a bid to hopefully give your battery life a boost, Android Marshmallow is introducing a feature that recognise when the Android device is in a rested state to help conserve power. Google says it has tested it with a Nexus 9 and claims it can help make battery life last two times longer in standby mode by using fewer background services. If you're worried about missing out on alarms and incoming instant messages, Doze will still allow those notifications and modes to be activated.
If you don't know why USB Type C is going to be a big deal then you should read our USB Type C feature to find out why. Apple has already announced support for the next generation USB standard on its latest MacBook earlier this year, while the new Chromebook Pixel also includes support.
Android Marshmallow will bring full support for Type C, which should hopefully mean that we'll see Android phones and tablets in the not too distant future that can be charged quicker and easier thanks to the more versatile charging method.
Two small but nontheless smart new additions, Direct Share can learn who you share content with frequently from different apps and turn the process into the press of a single button. With the floating toolbar, it'll also improve the way you can copy and paste content from web pages or documents.
The redesigned volume controls in Lollipop were not universally loved and Google has listened. It's tidier and now also includes the ability to individually monitor audio from anything making sounds, whether that music or alarms.
In a move to improve web experience on phones, the new Chrome Custom Tabs is one for developers. When an app wants to push you into a web view, app developers can now use custom tabs to load on top of the app so you don't need to open another browser. Those tabs support automatic sign ins, saved passwords, multi-process security and autofill.
When will Android 6.0 Marshmallow be available?
Like previous versions of Android, we can expect it to roll out to phones and tablets in the Autumn and Google has announced that the Android M launch will be at the beginning of October. Currently, developers can play around with the final Android Marshmallow builds on the Nexus 5 and 6 smartphones plus the Nexus 9 and Nexus Player set-top box. Google has since confirmed that the Nexus 7 will also be among the first devices to the get the Marshmallow treatment.

Link Bubble Browser is a previously paid-for app that recently went completely free. Link Bubble made a name for itself largely due to one clever feature: it loads webpages in the background. This means that instead of clicking through to a site or page, and having to wait for images and text to appear, Link Bubble will present it to you only once its ready.
Link Bubble Browser also offers an easy way to share links, or save websites for offline viewing with Pocket integration. It's a simple idea, which is executed well and saves time – a winning combination.
Shuffle My Life has been making waves on Reddit, where it has been picked up by the very group of people it wants to address: those stuck in a rut with too much routine and not enough activity. If you've ever found yourself sitting around desperately trying to think of something new to do, Shuffle My Life is the app you need.
Shuffle My Life suggests new things to do to get a little variation in your day. There's nothing terribly complex about it, but that's the beauty of it. You don't need to think and you don't need to do too much. You simply choose to act on the suggestion or not.
What will you be asked to do? Easy stuff: take a photo of a landmark, read a paper at a cafe, go for a jog, watch an online lecture, write someone a letter. You can set time and cost limits and keep track of your efforts via Google Play Games and a leader board. Who knew relieving boredom could be so much fun?
If you've never used an alternate Android launcher, you might want to check out Action launcher 3. Action Launcher 3 is unlike other launchers, which typically rely on heavy customization options but the same basic functionality.
Action Launcher 3 takes your app drawer and puts it in an alphabetized Quick Drawer on the side, always ready to be swiped out in a jiffy. Covers let you tap an app icon to open it or swipe it to open a folder of grouped apps. Shutters are similar but instead of opening a folder, they open a preview widget. You'll have to upgrade to use Shutters though.
Action Launcher 3 also makes use of Android Lollipop's adaptive palette and changes the color of the search bar and on-screen elements to adapt to your current wallpaper. It even works with Muzei, the constantly changing wallpaper app. You can also select your own interface colors.
Google Photos was unveiled at Google I/O 2015 and made headlines for being a free app that offers unlimited photo and video storage (though there are some restrictions on file types).
Photos combines automatic backup, sharing and editing functions, as well as just about the best photo organization tool you can find, to create a powerful photo app which is hard to beat. Seriously, every gallery app should have 'click and drag' selection, shouldn't it?
If I were to recommend a best podcast app, it would be Pocket Casts – it's an extremely well-designed piece of software. But Pocket Casts isn't free; for the best free podcast app, we're recommending Podcast Addict.
Podcast Addict makes discovering and downloading podcasts simple. Though the user-interface won't exactly blow you away, its helpful search options assist you in finding the content you're looking for, even if you don't have a specific podcast in mind.
You can pay a little money to remove the app's Ad banner, but Podcast Addict doesn't restrict any features in the free version. Even if you're not into podcasts now, with this intuitive app, you might soon become addicted.
With all the cloud storage services out there, it's sometimes easy to forget if you put a certain file on Dropbox, or Google Drive, or OneDrive, or somewhere else.
With Unclouded, you can manage and view all the files you keep in the cloud from one place. It's more than just an overview however, as you can find duplicates, see which files were updated most recently, and find those files which are sneakily using up most storage space. A must-have for those living in the cloud.
It's rare that we find an app so useful that we dedicate a mini-feature to it, but Drupe deserves all the praise it gets. With Drupe, you can manage all your contacts and messaging apps in one place. Your contacts are on the left, your communications app icons on the right, then it's just a matter of dragging your contact into the icon of the app you want to contact them with.
It looks great, it feels great, and you can give it a permanent icon on your screen in order to instantly access it whatever you're doing on your phone.
Maybe a bit of a predictable addition to the list, but the basic principle of being able to call anyone anywhere in the world (with internet) for free still seems as ingenious today as when Skype was first released all the way back in 2003.
Take it from someone who works remotely and uses the Skype app to communicate with HQ on a daily basis that it's been truly world-changing in terms of how we work and communicate. The app interface is simple and very well-designed, letting you communicate by video and voice calls, as well as messaging.
Google's ever-evolving Earth-viewing app never ceases to impress, now letting you fly around whole cities in street view one second, then pinch to zoom out and see the whole country the next.
More of a world-exploration app than an actual navigation assistant, Earth lets you submit photos you take in specific areas for other people to enjoy, and also look at Wikipedia entries for the area you're exploring. Earth recently added the option to track planes in flight, and even look at hiking trails. This really is an app you can get lost in for hours.
Vine is a super fun online video community where only one rule applies: each looped video uploaded is only six seconds long. This means you can watch dozens of Vines in a bunch of different categories and it all takes no more than a few minutes. Follow your favorite Viners, share Vines with friends, interact with your favorite Vines, upload your own videos and keep an eye on trending Vines and hashtags.
Evernote is a little like Google Keep but has its own particularities and fan base. You can save notes, voice memos and files and access them on your various devices or laptop at any time you choose. You can also set reminders, take snapshots and even hand write your notes for that personal flair. Evernote has also had a nice Material Design makeover, making it one of the best looking productivity tools on Android.
Tumblr hardly needs an introduction. One of the original and best photo sharing communities on Android, Tumblr is an endless stream of amazing photography and imagery.

Plus, you can follow your favorite blogs or celebrities and stay up to date with what's happening right now in a fun visual format.
Do you take photos on your smartphone? You do? Then you should have Autodesk Pixlr installed. Pixlr is the gold standard for awesome free photo editing apps on Android.
