Yesterday the Android team went live on Reddit to field any questions users had about Android 7.0 Nougat’s final form. This Ask-Me-Anything event on r/androiddev saw developers discussing a wide variety of rumors and concerns, from OEM updates to the future of Material Design to the vanishing of Night Mode. The thread was met with strong interest, which has prompted the team to announce that they’ll be doing more AMAs going forward.
