Gizchina News of the week
With this new update, the users can now swipe down on the home screen to open the global search and notification centre. Speaking of notifications, there is a notification dot switch option in the Settings app now. Another notable change is the addition of SIM network toggle in the notification centre. This means that users can easily switch between the SIM cards without having to go deep inside the Settings application. Lastly, the annoying reminder of Mobile Hotspot running has been removed from the notification centre.
If you haven’t received the update, you can try to manually download it using the Software & Update feature on the Settings app. We will recommend using a strong WiFi connection and having enough battery life on your device. Since the company is currently rolling the update in batches, there is a high chance that manual download might not work for you. The company is planning to roll out the update to masses in the coming days.
