Those features include a split-screen mode, multi-tasking capabilities, a quicker way to close out of all applications in use at once and allowing users to select skin color for emojis, according to the report.

Additionally, Android N is reported to have enhanced security measures, including the ability to encrypt individual files on a phone.

Android N has been released in beta form, and an official release is planned for later this summer, according to WSJ.
