Live Caption works with podcasts and audio messages - even stuff you record yourself.

3. Smart Reply

Get suggested responses to your messages and opening app (such as Google map or YouTube video) relevant to the content.

So, if a friend asks you out to dinner, your phone will suggest you text "Ok". Then, it’ll also pull up directions right in Google Maps.
4. New gesture navigation

Similar to gesture control on iPhone X; Swiping up or across the screen to close, go backward, or switch app.

Device with larger, edge-to-edge screen such as Samsung Galaxy S10+ and Huawei P30 Pro can take advantage of this feature rather than moving to the button of the screen to perform these functions. 
5. Focus mode

Immediately pause app such as Facebook or Twitter so you can concentrate on the task at hand.
6. Family Link

Parents can now set screen time limits, device bedtime, time limits on specific apps, to control kid's devices.

Permission to allow data sharing
7. Tighter privacy settings

Notification to ask for permission if you will like to share your location information when using an app. 
Conclusion 

There are a lot more features in Android 10, but most noticeable is that Google is taking a step towards Personal Privacy. This restricts the app developer from collecting users data without given permission. For more Android 10 development, you can visit
