Google has finally released Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) update for the Nexus 6 smartphone, as expected. The update was released for several Nexus devices and Pixel devices last month.
The Android 7.1.1 Nougat update brings new emoji that reflect the pivotal roles women play in the world, female welders and men getting haircuts for Nexus devices, option to send GIFs directly from your keyboard on supported apps such as Google Allo, Google Messenger and Hangouts.
It also brings app shortcuts that can be launched directly from home screen. This is available in Twitter, Google Messenger, Google Maps and other apps that can be accessed by simply long pressing the app icon.
You can download factory images and OTA images (build N6F26Q) for the Nexus 6 from the Google Developers website here, if you can’t wait for the OTA update. Devices enrolled in the Android Beta Program will also receive this final version. Google recently said that it has already started work on refinements and bug fixes for the next incremental update.
