Android 11 Features Enhancements to Conversations

Android 11 includes a dedicated space in the notification area for all the user conversations across various messaging platforms. The company said that the users can also “prioritise conversations” from select people on Android 11 ensuring that they “never miss an important message.”

Further, Android 11 also includes Bubbles, a Facebook Messenger inspired interface that enables users to keep a tab on the messaging app without the need for opening the dedicated app.

The company said that the users on Android 11 can access and control all smart devices in one place by long pressing the power button. The media controls on the Android 11 are said to be “redesigned and are more helpful” to users as compared to the previous versions of Android. Google said that the users on Android 11 can now “quickly switch” the audio output from the mobile speakers to headphones “without missing a beat.”

Android 11 features “one-time permissions” enabling users to allow an application to access microphone, camera and location information for a single time. The applications with “one-time permissions” will ask user permission again to access the camera, location or microphone.
