The geo-location API is allowed over secure origins, this policy is designed to secure the information of the users when accessed to unknown internet sources.

Mobile data usage - The biggest concern is the apps running at background and consuming a lot of mobile data which in turn disappoints the current mobile user generations. Android Nougat has a new feature added in it. The data saving setting, blocks the random background data usages and restricts data consuming on updating emails and Facebook or twitter notifications.

Multi Window tasking - Google has made a good introduction of multi tasking facility in its new version of Android.
