PICTURE IN PICTURE MODE:
The New Picture in picture feature in Android Oreo is similar to using chrome in the background while watching video also in a computer but it is in mobile. With the announcement of android O at google I/O they said all the google apps would support picture in picture mode but youtube still lacks picture in picture mode , but chrome has support for pic-in-pic mode (if you want to enjoy youtube in picture-in-picture mode you have to open it in google chrome)

NEW SETTINGS MENU:
With android 7 settings menu was redesigned for a option to slide out for easy access but with android 8 that slide out feature has been removed and settings menu has been redesigned to it’s old side, which is well and good but I still miss that slide out feature though because it was really helpful when I need to jump from mobile networks to display settings but now we have to go back and go to settings menu.
