Chris Lacy, known for the Action Launcher app, among other things, has released a new version of the Action Launcher app. In Action Launcher 49 we see a range of new features, capabilities and improvements.

Action Launcher 49

An update is available in the Google Play Store for one of the most popular launchers for Android. It is about Action Launcher and this time we have arrived at version 49. With the update to Action Launcher 49, the developer has made a lot of improvements and optimizations. An important new addition is the presence of the greatly improved transition animations when returning to the launcher, from other apps. Due to various adjustments made by Google in the past, this feature of the launcher largely fell into the water.

From now on there is also support for adaptive icon packs, the native app icon has been updated and you can also use Brave for your searches. Furthermore, you have quick access to Google Lens and there are various fixes.
