In terms of notifications, the new notification dots will let users tap these and see what is new in the app. There’s also the Autofill framework, which will auto fill log-in for apps where users have granted permission. Additionally, developers of password manager apps can now use the new APIs to make this autofill option available to users in other apps. Google’s Android Developer blogpost says “Autofill will roll out fully over the next few weeks as part of an update to Google Play Services.”

Some iPhone 4 tricks that can be really helpful for you

These are some iPhone 4 tricks that can be really helpful for you. 

1. Keyboard Trick #1. Instead of tapping once on the 123 button and then again on the ABC button when you're done, you can tap and hold the 123 button, then slide your finger to select the symbol you want to insert. Once it's been added, your keyboard will automatically revert back to the letters keyboard.Sponsor ads:

2. Keyboard Trick #2. There are many additional symbols hidden within your keyboard that you may never have discovered. Tap the 123 button to go to the numbers and symbols keyboard, then tap and hold a symbol such as the pound sign to find other currencies.

3. Keyboard Trick #3. Instead of going to the symbol menu to find a full stop, you can double tap the space button. It'll add a full stop to the end of the word you've just typed and set you up ready to begin the next sentence.

4. Shake. If you've just typed a long sentence and accidentally deleted it, you can give your iPhone a shake to bring up the undo/redo button. Just make sure you're holding onto your iPhone tight before you shake it.

5. Go Back To Top.  You can tap at the very top of the iPhone's screen to go straight back to the top. This works in most iPhone apps.

6. Calculator Trick. If you use the calculator app a lot there's a handy time-saving trick you might not know exists. If you've just typed a long number and want to delete the most recent digit you entered, you can swipe left or right in the black area where your calculation appears.

7. Timer For Music. This is a cool trick for those of you who enjoy falling asleep to music. Using the hidden 'Stop Playing' timer, you can choose how long you want the music to play for as you drift off to sleep.To set up the timer, go to the clock app and then tap 'Timer' in the bottom right of the screen. Choose how long you want your timer to last for (you can choose a matter of minutes or hours if you'd prefer) and then tap 'When Timer Ends'. Here, scroll down to the bottom of the menu and select 'Stop Playing'. Press start on the timer and then begin playing your music from the Music app. When the timer ends, the music will fade to a stop.

8. Blink When You Receive A Message. If you find that the vibration or sound that your phone makes when you get a message is not always enough to attract your attention, there's another element that you can add to the alert – light. By going to Settings > General > Accessibility and scrolling down to the 'Hearing' section (this feature is designed for people with hearing impairments), you can turn on 'LED Flash for Alerts'. 

9. Switching Direction. You can change the direction of your Panorama photograph in the Camera app by tapping the arrow that appears in the middle of the screen in the Panorama mode.

10. Headphones for a Selfie. When the camera app is open on your iPhone, you can use the volume up button on your headphones to take a photo. Not only does this reduce shake, it also means you can take a more natural-looking photo from further away or take a photo hands-free.
