What's new in Android 11?
After upgrading, you'll see the following improvements to the Android operating system and other apps.
Notification improvements
Conversations
When you view notifications, you'll see a new Conversations section, just for message apps:
•
You’ll see notification counts in the preview if you have multiple notifications in the same conversation.
•
You can mark conversations as Priority to keep them on top of the list and using a bubble. The contact’s
photo will show on the lock screen and in your notifications.
Bubbles
Bubbles keep your conversations accessible by floating over any app you’re using:
•
Drag the bubble to move it around the screen.
•
Read and send messages from the bubble without opening the app.
•
You can turn bubbles off from any conversation notification.
One-time permissions
Keep closer control of your most sensitive permissions, like camera and mic access, by granting an app
permission for one-time use only. The next time the app wants to access the feature, you’ll be asked to
again grant permission.
Auto-reset permissions
If you haven’t used an app for an extended period of time, your phone will auto-reset all permissions
associated with that app and will notify you.
•
You can re-grant the app permissions the next time you open the app.
•
The option to grant permission all the time is no longer available for many apps.
•
If an app requests permission multiple times and you repeatedly deny it, the app will be blocked from
requesting the permission again.
Other improvements
•
Notification history now lets you access notifications you accidentally swiped away.
•
You can now hide Silent notifications from the unexpanded status bar view, and see them only when it’s
expanded.
Navigation
Quick settings and media controls
Media controls are now in quick settings, instead of in your notifications, for easier access:
•
From media controls, you can now switch between the phone’s speaker and other connected devices.
•
You can now swipe away the media controls if you don’t want to see them when you've stopped
listening to music.
