Long-press Quick Settings Tile
When you long-press on a QS Tile, there’s a new animation that first expands the container and adds an accompanying vibration.
New loading indicator
Instead of seeing your wallpaper after a long reboot (like after installs), Google now shows a scalloped loading indicator, with your homescreen appearing afterwards.
