    Google has released Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow for Nexus devices. This exciting but also sad since most devices here in Kenya have not yet seen the Lollipop update let alone Marshmallow 6.0

    The main feature in this new update is the inclusion of around 200 new emojis!!! Hallelujah to the emoji lovers.

    There is also news that a new tablet navbar comes with the new update, which moves some of the navigation icons (back, home and recent apps) to either side of the screen.

    The other addition is for the “Do not disturb” mode where the ‘Until next alarm’ option has been reintroduced as it was there on lollipop but went missing on Marshamllow 6.0…glad to see it’s back.

    I am hoping that OEMs (Such as Sony, Samsung and HTC) who have yet to release their Marshamallow update will go straight to 6.0.1
