New Features

It is not completely out of the box release and most of the features are as of Android 10 but some missing things are added in Android 11 to make your Android experience easier-to-use.

Device Controls: Android 11 gives easy access to Device Controls in power menu, you can use it by pressing power button. You can control your smart devices e.g. lights, music player etc in the menu. Another new feature in this power menu is the media control, you can control audio or video played in any app in this menu.

Another new feature is the bubble view, previously new messages notifications were visible in notification area on top of the mobile screen but with this feature the messages from social media apps like Facebook messenger, WhatsApp and twitter etc. will be accessible and visible in Bubbles. Most probably developers can add this feature with the SMS messages.

Screen Recording is one of the new features of the Android 11. Now you can record mobile screen with or without microphone with your mobile phone’s built-in feature and there will be no need to use third party app.

With “One time” permission feature; the Android 11 gives its users multiple options for permissions required by third party apps, and user can select whether the phone should allow an app on use, only once or deny. It will ensure more security for your device, as there are many apps that we use one time and then forget to open and use again and they keep functioning in background and access granted to use camera, microphone and location. With this feature user can select only once option, whenever he/she uses the app.

Notification History, this feature provides previous 24 hours’ history for the notifications so as users can retrieve and read any important notification swiped mistakenly in hurry.

These are some of the main features but there many other small and important features which will take your android experience on higher level.
