Lawnchair 2 stable is now rolling out on the Play Store with tons of new features

Third-party launchers may not be as tightly integrated into the system as first-party launchers are, but they generally offer a lot more features than the stock launcher on any given device. Take Google’s Pixel Launcher, for example. It’s clean and beautifully designed, but there are only a handful of options to customize the launcher. In comparison, a third-party launcher like the popular Lawnchair app has dozens of features. You can stick with a more minimalist, Pixel Launcher-like experience or you can customize out the wazoo. The last stable update was version 1.2.1 back in July, and now the Lawnchair app has reached version 2 in the stable channel after months of beta releases.

Here are the highlights of the v2 update, per the team:

Lawnchair v2 Update Highlights:

  • Adds Drawer Categories (Tabs & Folders).
  • Introduces Adaptive Icon customisation.
  • Enables integration with Sesame and Homefeeder.
  • Adds Pixel Launcher’s At a Glance widget.
  • Integrates with Android’s Recents page via QuickSwitch.

And here’s the full list of key features available in Lawnchair v2:
