The final version of Android 11 is already among us and little by little it will reach all devices so that the largest number of users can enjoy it. There are many changes that we find in this new version of the most popular operating system, letting us see how endless aspects have changed from Android 10 to Android 11 .
So that you do not miss any detail, we will review each and every one of the changes in Android 11 , showing you how your mobile can change when you update it. We must bear in mind that in some smartphones the customization layers will make a difference and we may not see some or that they are adapted to the style of each layer.
Notifications have been completely revamped
One of the biggest changes that we find has to do with the notification panel, in Android 10 all the notifications seemed the same and there was nothing that made a difference, but with Android 11 the generation jump is remarkable. Now functions and options are added in the Android 11 notifications that will make it easier for us to have conversations, know letters or be aware of everything that happens on the mobile. These are the main changes:
- Sections in the notifications: the system will automatically divide the notifications into conversations, alerts and muted notifications.
- New types of alerts: by holding down the notifications we can choose between priority notifications, common alerts or silence them.
- Notification history: we have access to all the notifications that have reached our mobile whenever we want.
Chat bubbles as a highlight
What most changes our way of interacting in Android 11 are the new bubbles that are already being integrated into most messaging applications such as Telegram or WhatsApp in addition to Facebook Messenger. Now we can continue with the tasks and at the same time respond to the conversations that we have open with a comfortable floating bubble.
Shutdown menu in Android 11
In the version of Android 11 this menu did not exist and now with Android 11 we have at our disposal a series of new quick accesses that do not even need the mobile to be turned on. To use it we only have to keep the power button pressed for a few seconds and in addition to the classic shutdown button we have a wide series of quick options at our disposal:
- Pay with your mobile.
- Control the home automation of our house.
- Quick access to emergencies.
Smart suggestions
At the bottom of the home screen we now have a new section of shortcuts smaller than the classic icons, in this section we have control to set apps, although we also benefit from the artificial intelligence of Android 11 compared to Android 10 . We only have to activate their use so that they appear to us continuously and depending on the time of day what we use the most.
Greater control over privacy
Google has been continuously working on privacy and in this case the privacy management in Android 11 receives very interesting news. Now applications can have a unique permission to access memory, camera or other events, something that ensures us to be calm. In addition, the applications do not have to have access to all the elements of the mobile and for example the galleries will only be able to have access to the gallery.
Native screen recording
The desired option to record the screen has finally arrived with Android 11 to make us forget about third-party applications. Now we will only have to go to the quick accesses and choose if we want to record the screen with internal or external sound of the device.
