2:Google Now on Tap
Google’s virtual assistant is one of Android’s best features and it’s going to get even better in Android 6.0. Now you’ll be able to get information on anything you have currently running on your phone screen.
for example: So if you’re watching a video on YouTube, simply hold down on the home button to find out more information about someone in the video.

Other additional Google Now improvements include the ability to say ‘OK Google’ wherever you are in the Android operating system.
3:App permissions
This feature is we all will LOVE <3
Whenever we install an app we see a long list of things the app wants access to.
To make it easier for users to keep track of what phone features can be accessed, permissions will now sit in specific categories like Sensor, Camera and Location. 
E.g When we need to use the microphone for a voice message, an app permission will appear prior to using the feature. If you grant access, you’ll then be able to make a call. itsn’t it cool.
You will be able to provide access to app as you only want.
Additionally, if you want to have a better option of what app permissions you’ve granted, you’ll now be able modify permissions within the phone settings.
4: Standardised fingerprint support
This improved biometric authentication will also be extended to Android Pay to authorise payments, just looking like Apple Pay.
5:Direct Share and Floating Toolbar
Direct Share can learn who you share content with frequently from different apps and turn the process into the press of a single button.
With the floating toolbar, it’ll also improve the way you can copy and paste content from web pages or documents.
6: Simplified volume controls
You will now be able to individually monitor audio from anything making sounds, whether that music or alarms.
7: Chrome Custom tabs
In a move to improve web experience on phones, the new Chrome Custom Tabs is here.
When an app wants to push you into a web view, app developers can now use custom tabs to load on top of the app so you don’t need to open another browser.
Those tabs support automatic sign ins, saved passwords, multi-process security and autofill.
8:Doze
In a bid to hopefully give your phones battery life a boost,
Android Marshmallow is introducing a feature that recognise when the Android device is in a rested state to help conserve power in standby mode by using fewer background services.
9: Android Pay
Android Pay will let you walk into stores and tap on an NFC terminal to pay for products.
The process works by creating a virtual account number, which mean your actual number is not shared with the retailer. This aims to make the process more secure.
It will work with existing credit and debit cards from the likes of Mastercard.
For developers, they’ll now also be able to introduce Android Pay inside apps to make purchasing quicker and easier
Though it will be launched with Android Marshmallow, it will still be available for devices running on Android 4.4 and above.
Based on Google Wallet, this feature allows you to save your credit cards in one place.
