Google\u2019s latest edition of Android 11 has arrived and with comes a whole new set of features and updates that are quite interesting. The Beta released recently and it can be downloaded with pixel 2 or higher <\/a><\/strong>pixel android device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we took a crack at the beta and started searching for new update and so far the new controls feel great. The best part so far is the accessibility and the latest media controls. However, functionalities like app suggestions and bubble will take some getting used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019re going to be discussing our take on the newly minted features of Android 11 beta and all that we have learned in the beta so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick controls are the real highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First thing you\u2019ll notice is that as soon as you start exploring is the fluid control screen that pops up when you long-press the power button. The screen provides quick access to other feature like Google Pay cards, boarding passes etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now comes the best part the control screen even prove shortcut for smart home devices. You can connect to devices like Google Assistant, Nest Thermostat, Nest Doorbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Quick<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can easily edit these smart home devices from the menu by tapping on its grid and selecting the option of Add or Edit controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bubble Chat Icons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This feature might seem similar to Facebook\u2019s \u201cchat heads\u201d in which a bubble always on screen. Tapping the bubble opens a mini screen that lets you send and receive messages without the need to open the app. This functionality was supposed to come with Android 10 but got postponed by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bubble<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this beta, the bubbles seem compatible with Facebook messenger but it is expected to work with all apps by Android 11\u2019s release. To start off conversation you can use bubbles by tapping the bottom right bubble icon of the notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose a specific bubble by long-pressing the notifications and set it as a priority. This enables the prioritised conversation bubble thread to pop up even if the  \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d option is activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

App Suggestions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As soon as you open your Android 11 Beta<\/a><\/strong> you\u2019ll be greeted with a message to enable App suggestions. If you answer \u201cYes\u201d then you will find Android\u2019s app recommendations on the bottom section of your home screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"App<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can long-press to place any app in the App suggestion section or block them from showing up. To customise your App suggestions you need to long-press the home screen select \u201cHome settings\u201d and \u201cSuggestions\u201d option from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

InnovativeMusic controls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Instead of the old \u201cPending Notification\u201d sort of look, the new music control Interface is placed in the quick setting panel on the top of the top your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"InnovativeMusic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In case the music controls are not found when you start your Android 11, you need to take the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Enable the developer option by going to the \u201cSettings<\/strong>\u201d  <\/li>
  2. Then go to the \u201cAbout Phone<\/strong>\u201d option. <\/li>
  3. Scroll down to \u201cBuild Number<\/strong>\u201d and tap it<\/li>
  4. You\u2019ll get a message \u201cCongratulations, You\u2019re Now a builder\u201d.<\/li>
  5. Find the Developer option in the \u201cSystem<\/strong>\u201d section in \u201cSettings<\/strong>\u201d<\/li>
  6. Turn on the \u201cMedia Resumption<\/strong>\u201d from there and reboot your device.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It might seem complicated but follow the above steps and you\u2019ll find the music controls once your phone turns back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In-Built Screen Recorder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Now everyone needs to record some pictures or videos from their screen on the go. Be it a game recording or reporting a bug, all in all, its a very useful feature. And it’s available on Android 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"InnovativeMusic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The Screen recorder can be found in the \u201cQuick Setting\u201d panel. But in case it\u2019s not there just click on the pencil icon to add it. The recorded video will be saved in your \u201cCamera roll\u201d and you can share it from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lastly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
