Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Features News : Voice CommandsToggle Settings with Latest OS

 The progression of the Android Lollipop 5.0 update has been a slow one. While many Android users are waiting for the initial update to come to their devices, others are already figuring out all of the new setting this update allows.The Android Lollipop 5.0 now lets users activate toggle settings with Google Now's voice activation. However, in order for the voice activation to work, the latest version of the Google search app must be running.For example: say, "Ok Google, turn on/off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Flashlight" to get to the settings. A card and small toggle will be shown on the screen, indicating the change. The card and toggle are also there for users who need to make adjustments or correct the action if the activation was not intended. If the devices' sound is on, confirmation of the action performed will happen.Last year, the voice activation would take users to the settings and users would have to make the changes manually. Many thought this was fruitless as voice activation should allow users to adjust settings hands-free. Other settings, such as GPS and Airplane mode, that could be used with the voice activation are still unavailable. For now, only their setup menus appear if users ask Google to toggle them.Android Lollipop 5.0 is only available to 1.6 percent of its users. They said, "Since Google Now is an integral part of the Android Lollipop experience, it is no surprise that Google is tweaking its personal digital assistant to help users get more out of the latest and greatest iteration of Android."
