Top 5 New Android 11 Features That Can Affect Your App

Any new update is important for seamless mobile app development. To fix the right path, take a look at the new Android 11 features that one must be aware of.

1. Adopts multiple screen types

The android ecosystem has greatly developed in terms of foldable devices. With the upcoming introduction of new foldable devices, OS 11 is created to run on all the foldable devices. This is a piece of great news for the teams working in foldable smartphone app development.

2. Provides access on a one-time basis

Android 10 allowed the user base with a lot of control over the applications and all the data that they can access, and the new version keeps the train rolling. Now things have changed a bit. Now when the application asks for permission to use a detailed feature, the users have the power to grant access on a one-time basis. Hence, the app will use the intricate feature only when the user uses that particular app. The time when someone quits the application, the access will be revoked.

3. Adoption of 5G

As the world fights a war against a deadly and invisible enemy, coronavirus, the need to boost 5G adoption has only increased. With Dynamic Meterdness API smartphones will be able to take complete advantage of 5G. One can then easily access high-quality videos and graphics.

4. Screen recorder

For a long time, Android users are eagerly waiting for the tech-giant Google to add a built-in screen recorder. Not everyone needs it on a daily basis, but there is no doubt in the fact that the function is basic. Hence the wait for the feature was a bit irritating. But Android 11 is stepping forward to change the same. According to the screen recorder showed by Developer Preview 2 there is now a UI & a toggle that records the audio and shows the touches in the recording.

5. Improvement in messaging experience

When we compare the last version of Android with the new one, we can easily observe and notice all the improvements that are made in users' messaging experience. Take a look at the following upgrades that are made in the latest update.

Conversation section

In order to simplify the process of getting real-time messages, the new version of Android has added a conversation section in the notification column. This provides the user base with instant access to all the ongoing conversation they are a part of.

**Chat bubbles **

With the Android 11 chat bubble, it is possible to hide all the ongoing conversations. This can be done in little bubbles, that are present on the screen. The user can easily move around the bubbles, and they can also help in revealing the conversations. Isn't that fantastic?

Send images while replying

The new version will allow the users to send the images even while replying to messages from notifications. This feature is a step closer to deliver a better messaging experience.
