HTC’s Vice President of Product Management, Mo Versi, has taken to Twitter to announce that the Taiwanese company has just received approval from Google and is now rolling out the long-awaited Lollipop update to all Developer and Unlocked variants of the One (M8).

We have a full changelog for you after the break.

Android 5.0 Lollipop update
Lock screen and notification: New Lollipop UI style with enhanced privacy features
Recent apps: Supporting multiple pages
Addition of search function within settings

Versi claims that the update will start rolling out “tonight”, but we’ve already received it on our Unlocked handset, so checking for the update now is definitely worth a try. To do this, head into ‘Settings’, ‘About Device’, then tap ‘Check for Updates’ to manually scan for it.
