Erangel 2.0 was made available for Android users a few days ago. The revamped Erangel map will feature design changes as expected. There will be some changes made in areas such as Mylta Power, Quarry, Prison, and other play zones. Graphics have been upgraded and building adjustments have been made as well. There are new map elements in Erangel 2.0 which include the addition of trenches, wooden barricades and abandoned tanks. Players will also see changes in building structures. Erangel has been due for an upgrade for a long time. 

If you are playing the Erangel 2.0 map, it should be worth adding that since this is the beta version of the game, some features may not work as expected. 

In the same update, PUBG Mobile introduced a new M1014 weapon in Livik Map along with art and graphics improvements. Cheer Park got some additions as well in the update. There's Training Ground 2.0, Cheer Park showdowns, and even an island in the lake.
