What everybody loves about Android OS is that you can customize its features to the fullest extent. Android 10 offers even better customizable options and users can customize its looks to satisfy their preference. There is a new theming section in the Developer Options of Android 10 where a user can change the phone’s accent color.

2. Live Caption that describes media locally in real-time
Accessibility for the deaf and the ear impaired is simplified by closed captioning. This helps them to understand what is being said in any type of spoken media including podcasts, videos, and games. Android 10 has a feature called “Live Caption” that makes it simple to understand captions in real-time in your device with no Internet.
3. Change in Permissions
Android 10 has put more emphasis on privacy than ever before. With all permissions requested by apps, Google wants you to truly understand what you are getting yourself into before allowing apps to access certain features on your device. Android 10 has a new Privacy section that is under the Permission manager. Here, you will find different permissions categories with apps that currently have access to those permissions. You can control whether an app accesses your location all the time, when the app is running or not to access.
