Android 11: New Features, Release Date, and everything else you need to know
Android 10 is the updated version of the Google smartphone operating system. Although some smartphones have not yet reached this updated Android, Google is not sitting still. Android development work is underway and they have already brought the Android 11 preview build for developers and users to test.
What new features is Android 11 coming with? But there is no end to the curiosity among Android lovers about this. Today's event is about the beginning and end of Android 11.
Naming
Last year, Google came up with the idea of naming the Android version based on sweets. The name of the version is not matching the initials of the food or matching any letter of the English alphabet. Android 11 is going to be the name of the latest version of Android which will be released in the 3rd quarter of this year.
Chat bubble
Though there has been speculation about the chat bubble since Android 10, it was not given in the end. However, Google has given this feature in the new Android Developer Preview keeping in mind the expectations of its users. The new feature will allow users to easily communicate with any messaging application from now on.
It's a lot like our usual Facebook messaging. In the case of Messenger, just as we can easily communicate faster using the chat-head, just like in this case any messaging app can quickly reply to any message by using the chat bubble next to the home screen.
Notification Shade Conversation
The upcoming Android has a special feature called 'Conversations in Notification Shade'. Not only is there a quick response to a message from the chat bubble, but users can easily view the entire conversation history from messages or chats from the notification panel without having to enter a specific app. Google is said to be launching the 'Chat Bubble' and 'Conversations in Notification Shade' features to give users maximum benefit in conversations.
Share menu pin
Android has had sharing options for a long time, but never like iOS, but not self-contained. Over time, the recent 10th edition has somewhat resolved this issue. But hopefully, in the coming Android version, Google is making arrangements to pin several apps together.
Although this feature was given in the Android 10 Developer Preview, it was not found in the final version. Now Google is saying that in the coming version, there will be a system to pin four apps at the same time in the sharing menu.
Exchanging images from the notification panel
Easy messaging on Android 11, as well as users, can exchange pictures directly with anyone from the notification panel if they want. 'Notification image sharing' is expected to be phased out from copy-paste supported apps. For now, however, this feature has been introduced in the case of Google Chrome and G-Board in the new developer preview.
These new features of Google Android outside the apps will make the daily use of smartphones easier and more visual for the users.
App permission
Google places the highest importance on security and privacy in every version of Android. The coming version is no exception. Android 10 is a major change in-app permissions, keeping in mind the maximum security of the user's personal information. This security is being taken one step further in the 11th version of Android.
In the case of Android 10, the location of the user has been arranged to use a specific app. But in the coming version, there is a system of location sharing only in case of using any app at a single time. That is, the location sharing settings are kept only once the user uses an app once. For the next time in this case the app will not get location permission a second time without the consent of the user.
Screen recording
For so long on the Android operating system, users had to use a third-party recording app if they wanted to record a screen on their smartphone. In this case, although there are a few specific applications from some popular vendors, there was no such app on Google's stock Android. However, the good news for stock Android users is that in the upcoming version of Android, users will be able to record the screen of their smartphone with the pre-loaded app if they want (although Google has not yet made a final decision about this).
Motion Sense Gesture
There are reports that the new Android version has some special motion sense gestures. For example, Motion Sense music play-pause is currently available in the Pixel smartphone lineup at Developer Preview. This feature can be very useful for those who especially like to listen to music. Modern Android features are a must when playing music or pausing with hand gestures when listening to music on a smartphone.
In addition, this preview build has the facility to launch several working apps and features including Google Assistant, Camera, Alarm Snooze by double-tapping on the back of the Google Pixel smartphone.
Routine Dark Mode
Dark mode has been widely used in smartphones since Android 10. While several smartphone vendors have the option to turn on Routine Dark Mode in their own ROMs, stock Android did not have the option to turn on Routine Dark Mode. However, in the coming Android version, users can enjoy this feature if they want.
Colorful quick setting tiles
Android 11 Developer Preview Bind features colorful quick setting tiles. This allows users to color the Quick Setting option to their advantage and preference from four specific colors (red, blue, yellow, and green).
Bluetooth feature
In addition to the above features, there are changes in the Bluetooth feature in the new Android. This change is due to the fact that the Android smartphone ecosystem relies on wireless platforms day by day instead of headphone jacks. Android usually turns off Bluetooth when Airplane mode is turned on. In this case, the new build has changed the subject to ensure uninterrupted wireless connectivity to keep it always on.
Release date
The new Android 11 is now being tested for improvement. However, Google has released a timeline for its release. According to Google, the new version of Android is coming in August this year.
Developer build support
The current developer of Android 11 builds but does not support all Pixel smartphones. Currently, only the following smartphone users can test Google Android 11 Developer Build.
- Pixel 2/2 XL
- Pixel 3/3 XL
- Pixel 4/4 XL
