Action Launcher gets updated with Google Feed integration, notification dots, and more

Action Launcher is receiving yet another update on the Android platform. The new version of the app is v26 and you can download it now on your devices. It is a major update and brings many new features and improvements. Mainly, it adds Google feed integration feature (previously Google now).

To recall, the last update of the Nova launcher has already added this feature and now it is coming to the Action launcher too. You’ll need to sideload a plugin, but no root is required. However, the other new additions include many new features from the Android O developer preview. You can see many new UI tweaks and improvements inspired from the Android O.

The official changelog shared by the developer reads:

  • NEW: Google Now integration for all! Requires installation of the Action Launcher Google Plugin application.
