Nova Launcher v5.5 new beta update brings search bar in the dock + more new exciting features!

Nova Launcher v5.5 next beta update has just arrived and there are a number of great new features packing inside it. Let's talk about all of them without any further due.

Search Bar in the dock

With the arrival of Pixel 2, everyone had started the run of being the first to get the phone's look with the help of their launcher and Nova launcher has now crossed the finishing line. Now, you can place search bar in the dock either above the dock income or below them. You will find the option in the dock settings.

Android 8.1 style popup menu

Now, Nova has finally came up with the new style popup menu of Android 8.1. You can switch between the old and new styles directly from the 'Look and feel' menu. Notifications can also be seen directly from there just like Android Oreo but this will need the prime version to use. Also, you can enable or disable the extra buttons like edit, app info from the option right below them.

Improved Adaptive Icons

Adaptive icons in Nova launcher are still in beta and are still improving with every new update. This update is really a nice touch to them. Many icons are now changing without enabling force adaptive icons unlike the last version. However, I have no screenshots to show them to you.

There were also many under hood changes and improvements to make it better than ever.

You can sign in as beta tester for Nova launcher to try these new features right now or you grab the APK file from the link given below and installing it to update your existing app.
