 "It's not Neyyappam, Google announces new operating system Android Nougat")
Technology giant Google on Thursday announced on Snapchat that the latest version of Android operating system Android N will now go by "Android Nougat".
"Introducing #AndroidNougat. Thank you, world, for all your sweet name ideas! #AndroidNReveal," the company wrote.
The announcement comes after the company asked for suggestions saying that users could submit suggestions for the name online. Nougat is the latest dessert-themed version of Android due out later this summer.
Two Indian sweets, Nankhatai and Neyyappam were also reported to have been considered. While it is not for certain if the names came up due to Sundar Pichai's Indian origins, this news will come as a huge disappointment for Indian fans of Android who were rooting for one of these sweets.
The release, initially announced in March and currently on its second (and mostly stable) beta, brings new features like an improved notification shade and split-screen multitasking to the mobile OS, while also improving on features like Doze that came with Marshmallow last year, technology website The Verge reported.
The release also has Daydream, Google's new VR platform, baked in, though it will only be supported by Daydream-ready handsets running the OS.
