The Top 11 New Features in Android 11 Include: The Notification Power Button Menu Is Neat

 Google has finally made available the Android 11 operating system's final version after a protracted delay. The most cutting-edge and advanced operating system for Android users.

This time around, Google has added a lot of new features to the operating system. In addition to features, artificial intelligence capabilities have been improved and expanded.

Google cannot possibly be tampering with this operating system. The Google team made improvements to the system's functionality, aesthetics, and security of users' private information.

What new features does Android 11 have, then? Here is the evaluation!


1. Energy Button Menu

Your Android phone's power button menu is likely the first visual change you observe. Long tapping the power button will only bring up a menu with options to restart, lock, or switch off the phone.

However, Google currently offers more options in this menu. Google Pay Credit or Debit Cards are now available to users, and they can be customized.

You may also retrieve any tickets or boarding cards you bought with Google Pay from this menu. The app can also be configured to show in place of Google Pay if you use Samsung Pay.

The Google Home app can also be accessed through the menu on the power button. Users can therefore control a variety of smart home gadgets using this menu.

2. Player of Media

An excellent update is made to Android 11's media player. Now, the notification menu is linked with the music and video playback application (swipe-down the top screen).

This menu already allows users to control the YouTube music and video playback. Additionally, users can quickly and simply choose which device to utilize as a speaker.

3. Bubbles


You'll find it simpler to talk with friends and family thanks to this function. All chats in other programs can be minimized and changed into little balls that you can move about the screen.

Actually, the chat heads feature on Facebook is comparable to this one. The similar function is offered by Google, and it is integrated with several instant messaging programs.

4. Neat Notifications

On-screen alerts now appear considerably neater with Android 11. After Google groups each notification that comes on your phone, you can accomplish this.

For instance, each notice for a short message will go to the "Conversation" group, and so on. Google also allows users to classify each group into one of three categories: "Silent," "Default," or "Priority."

The group will no longer display notifications if it is in the "Silent" category. When you select the "Default" category, your phone will ring each time a notice is received. Notifications will always be at the very top of the notification menu if they are set to the "Priority" category.

5. Screen Recording

To record the screen on a smartphone so far, Android users need a different program. Android 11 will fix this problem once and for all.

To open the notification menu, swipe down on the screen. You will then see the symbol for the screen recording feature. When you click, you can record the screen, record sound, and even see each touch that is made to the screen.

6. Giving Applications Tighter Access Permissions

Your smartphone must be accessible for every app. For instance, a video call application will undoubtedly need access to the smartphone's camera and microphone. Although important, it happens frequently that applications will abuse this access to obtain users' private information.

To get around this issue, Google offers a stricter procedure for approving such access. Users can now force every program to request authorization before accessing those items each time the app is utilized.

Additionally, users have the option to only provide access when the program is being used. For instance, when you are on a video call, an application can only access your phone's camera.

The problem doesn't end there; if an outdated software isn't used, access will be lost. This will come in handy when you forget to ever use or grant access to an application, of course.

Long-click the app icon, choose App Info I then choose "Permissions" to utilize it. Select "Remove Permissions if App is not Used" after that.

7. Storage of Notification History

You no longer need to be concerned if you tend to be careless and unintentionally remove notifications even after they haven't been read. The reason is that every notification that occurs on an Android 11 device will have its history saved.

Go to "Settings," choose "App & Notifications," choose "Notifications," and then open "Notifications History" to retrieve it. When you locate the desired notification, click as usual, and the notification will direct you to the desired app.

8. Smarter Voice Accessibility

Speech Access can force users to exclusively use their voice to control their devices. Before, users had to save certain sounds in order to perform an action on the device.

The voice-hearing artificial intelligence in Android 11 has been improved. With Android 11, Google's technology is now better able to hear and comprehend what the user is saying.

Simply mention the name of the app or what you want your phone to perform, and it will immediately comprehend you.

9. Pin Apps on Share Menu

Frequently used apps can now be pinned to the Share Menu for Android users. It is unquestionably simpler for users to access and use as a result.

The Share Menu method varies for each Google app, though. Google Maps, Google Photos, and YouTube all have unique sharing interfaces. This makes its look and use a little hazy.

At least, compared to earlier Android versions, this new function is more user-friendly.

10. More Various App Recommendations

Users can expedite their work with the aid of the application's Smart Suggestions function. Google is enhancing the functionality of this feature based on cellphone usage patterns with Android 11.

On the home screen page, users can really add their own "Suggested Apps" column. You may find it simpler to access daily-use programs with the help of this feature.

11. Other New Features

Google also offers a few additional less eye-catching functions. One of these is the Do Not Disturb mode, which allows you to disable all alerts at a specific period and is finally available.

Additionally, even if you put your phone in Airplane mode, Android 11 won't switch off your Bluetooth when it's in use.


Android users may now simply swipe left or right on the screen to go back to the previous application.

In the end, Google gave consumers access to 117 additional emojis. Your experience with Android 11 will be improved by the 55 new skin tones and numerous new emoji designs that are included.

Good luck!
