It will also support voicemail in the visual mode, native tap for wake action, more forceful APK validation process and a new animation for the booting process. It will also come with a completely redesigned music and clock widget, which will be more user friendly. There will be support for landscape mode in Google Now Launcher and the file manager will be revamped as well. Users will also get the ability to do away with the pesky notifications, according to BGR.

Meanwhile, there is no word from HTC on the latest update Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and when the users can expect it. It has already rolled out for some of the Nexus devices.
