In the latest blog post, Google said,

We’re making Android more people-centric and expressive, reimagining the way we have conversations on our phones, and building an OS that can recognize and prioritize the most important people in your life.

Android 11 Top Features

The Android update brings a lot of new features and the company has focused on three themes: people, control, and privacy. Here are some of the top features of Android 11

Android 11 Features

  • 1. Conversation notifications
  • 2. Bubbles
  • 3. Voice Access
  • 4. One-time Permission
  • 5. Permission Auto Reset
  • 6. Background Location

1. Conversation notifications

This feature enables a dedicated section at the top of the shade. With this users can open the conversation as a bubble, can create a shortcut of the conversation on the home screen, and set a reminder for a message.

2. Bubbles

It allows users to do multitasking while chatting. Messaging apps can now use the bubble API on notification to enable this. Then users can chat with friends using chat heads on any app using bubbles just like Facebook Messenger.

3. Voice Access

The new voice command will include an on-screen visual cortex that understands screen content and generates labels. For example, if you are typing something using voice command on WhatsApp, it will label 1,2,3 numerical values in all options.

Let’s say you want to send media, so to send that say the numeric value labeled on the document icon. The feature will be helpful for those who use their phone entirely by voice command.

4. One-time Permission

The feature will allow users to give one-time permission for anything, the app is asking for. The app will ask for the same permission again when opened next time.
