Android 6.0 "Marshmallow" is a version of the Android
mobile operating system. First unveiled in May 2015
at Google I/O under the codename "Android 'M'", it was
officially released in October 2015.
Marshmallow primarily focuses on improving the overall

4. Features
User experience
A new "Assist" API allows information from a currently-
opened app
including text and a screenshot of the current screen, to
be sent to a designated "assistant" application for analysis
and processing.
A newly inserted SD card or other secondary storage
media can be designated as either "portable" or "internal"
storage.

5. Platform
Android Marshmallow introduces a redesigned application
permission model: there are now only eight permission
categories, and applications are no longer automatically
granted all of their specified permissions at installation
time. An opt-in system is now used, in which users are
prompted to grant or deny individual permissions (such as
the ability to access the camera or microphone) to an
application when they are needed for the first time.
