Android update and the one secret Google feature you didn't know about

Android 10 is the latest version of the mobile platform that was given the code name Android Q ahead of its full debut.

Google traditionally names its new operating systems after confectionery – however the tech giant ditched such a naming convention this year in favour of a more traditional number.

However, knowing the development history of Android 10 is vital to unlocking a hidden game within the software.

More specifically, a nonogram – also referred to as picross – can be accessed if a specific set of actions are performed, as first noted by 9to5Google.

Users wanting to unlock the secret feature should head to their device’s Settings app.

From there tap About phone > Android version – from there press the segment that reads “Android version 10” until an “Android 10” logo fills the display.

Fans will then need to repeatedly tap the “1” of the Android 10 logo until it starts rotating.

Users can then move the number around – drag it so it is positioned inside the “0” so it forms the letter Q.

As noted above, this is a reference to Android 10’s original code name.

Pressing the Android logo one final time will unlock the game.

Nonograms are puzzles that force the user to look at clues on the side of the main playing area to either fill, or leave blank, certain squares within a grid.

As noted by TechRadar, users will need to rotate their display to see all the clues within the Android 10 game.

It is currently unclear how many puzzles are on offer – however it seems there are enough to keep Android fans occupied for some time.

At the moment, Android 10 is only available on a select number of smartphones, including Google’s Pixel series.

It is presumed devices from third-party vendors will similarly be able to access the Android 10 nonogram puzzle set.
