Android 11 new features

Android 11 chat bubbles and 'priority' conversations

Android 11_chat_bubble

First on the list, we have chat bubbles. Like what Facebook’s offered for quite a long time with its Messenger application on Android, visit rises in Android 11 hide your ongoing conversations in floating bubbles on the side of your screen. You can move the bubbles around, and tapping on them reveals that specific conversation. The Bubbles API is available for all messaging apps, with Google encouraging developers to adopt it

From this point on – until you remove the bubble from the screen – any new messages will popup up as a window from this bubble. We presume this same method will apply if and when developers for apps like WhatsApp and Telegram implement the capability in their apps. 

Speaking of messages and notifications, Android 11 makes it possible to send images when replying to a message directly from the notification shade.

In addition to that, when you get a message from a contact who you like chatting with often, you can long-press the notification and mark that particular conversation as a priority. That means you’ll get their notifications even when your phone is on ‘Do Not Disturb’. 

Android 11 Permissions

Presently, when an application requests for permission to use sensitive features like your location, microphone, or camera, you can decide to just allow it access on a one-time basis. The app will be able to use that permission during that instance of you using the app, but as soon as you leave it, the permission is revoked. The next time you use the app and it wants to use that permission, it needs to be granted access again.

Redesigned notifications

Android 11 breaks out and sorts notifications into groups, so conversations like the messaging  appear at the top in their own easy to read section, making it easier to quickly reply and carry on with there tasks.

Also we have split into alerting notifications and silent notifications this is basically for system notifications where something might be running in the background. The last is for applications that get loads of notification that you don’t really need to see or hear constantly. So online media and email fit into here pleasantly.

Android 11 have a built-in screen recorder

We can find these option very easily at our control shade. When we click on the screen recording quick setting tile there’s a pop-up window asking you to confirm whether you want to start recording. Before you starting you have an option of  record audio through your microphone, or if you want to record the device’s audio directly. Once confirmed, it’ll record whatever you’re doing onyour phone before you decide to stop and save the footage. You can also cancel the recording any time. 

Android 11 work with 5G

5G at last began advancing toward individuals in 2019, and all through 2020, an ever increasing number of people have begun associating with the up and coming age of wireless data. To help that process be as smooth as can be, Android 11 adds a very important “Dynamic Meterdness API.”

That may not sound very exciting on paper, but it essentially allows phones to take full advantage of all the power 5G brings.

In the event that the API detects that you’re associated with a boundless 5G signal, you’ll access the most highest possible quality for videos and graphics. The potential for 5G is pretty darn cool, and this API guarantees you to take full advantage of the speeds available to you.

New Power Menu with smart home controls

When you long-press the power/sleep button on the side is a lot more useful. You will get the additional option of easy access to GPay and smart home controls so you can quickly switch your smart home products on or off, or long press their widgets to adjust them in a more granular fashion.

New Media playback widget

Android 11_Media_Controls_music

Any app playing media on your device will create a widget in your quick settings drop-down menu, complete with colour matched background to the album art. We’ve tested and it’ll work with pretty much any media app. As a little bonus, when you tap the play/pause button, you get a nice ripple animation. As well as that, there’s an easier way to switch media output so you can switch it to play on the device, in your headphones, cast it to a TV or audio streamer.

Smart app suggestions

When you will setup new Android 11 update you’ll get a popup asking if you want to use Google’s auto-generated app dock. This means, instead of you choosing the four or five apps you want at the bottom of every home screen, Google populates that area with what it thinks you want access to. it’s not been all that come into use, but it’ll likely get better with time as with the user phone usage patterns. 

We’ll update this section once we get more information's.
