Google is expected to roll out a successive update to the existing Android Nougat v7.1.1 system. As promised, the software developer has involved itself in the process of bringing out frequent updates to the software in the latest smartphones released in the last couple of years.
Reports from the internet indicate that the beta version of Android Nougat v7.1.2 will likely see some new inclusions integrated into the software. The software code in the upcoming version of Android Nougat OS reveals incoming changes to the operating environment.
A brief report from Android Authority hints that Google will introduce a pollen counter, alongside changes to the home screen. It seems that Android Nougat v7.1.2 will witness Google's iconic search bar on the home screen, re-positioned to the notifications panel.
Meanwhile, details from the Android Police provide an in-depth explanation about how Google plans to bring out some changes in Android Nougat v7.1.2 that will reflect in the upcoming OTA update. The search bar that has been pretty common in most Android versions will now be moved to the notifications bar where it can then be accessed in the form of a floating tile.
The APK description of the beta app for Google with v7.1.21 mentions that the new search bar will improve the looks of the search page. The notification panel on Android v7.1.2 itself might be slightly modified in order to accommodate the required changes. That said, the Android environment offers very little space for displaying app notifications.
Accessibility shortcut for the Google Search bar is possible since a lot of applications nowadays provide service in such a way that it shouldn't hinder the usage experience. Another major inclusion part of Android Nougat v7.1.21 beta is that Google now plans to introduce a pollen counter app built into it.
