Google has officially released Android 11 : the latest version of its new operating system has arrived after passing its beta testing period, and it has many new features and improvements.

This is the latest update of Google's operating system: Android 11

The selected mobile phones of the brand Pixel, Oneplus, Xiaomi, Oppo and Realme will be the first to receive the new update of the most used operating system in the world , and in fact it is available right now for Google Pixel 4XL. If you are one of the lucky ones to have a compatible device, here are some of the reasons why you should consider upgrading to Android 11.

The most relevant improvements you'll find in Android 11

Notifications, messages, emails, responses, page and game pop ups ... every day our mobile phone shows us almost an infinity of messages, and many times we get lost among them. The focus of the improvements that Android 11 presents is to help you manage more easily what is most important to you in your day to day life.

Conversations are prioritized

Notifications have had great improvements in Android 11, especially those related to conversations, as they  now have a dedicated space at the top of notifications, over those of other applications.

You will also be able to prioritize them without having to enter the application, so you will never forget the most important conversations for you, and you will still receive all the notifications even those that you have silenced.

Second, Google has implemented a "bubble" feature in chat notifications. With this function, conversations can be configured as floating bubbles that you can move around the screen and access them regardless of the application you are in at the time.

Of course, for this tool to work fully, developers will have to update their applications. However, it is expected that soon all can implement it.

Recording the screen will no longer be a problem

Until now, if you needed to record what was happening on your screen, you needed to use third-party applications, but with Android 11 you will be able to record the content on your device, be it image, audio or both without using any other external application.

Quick access to smart devices

Every day more homes have more smart devices, and many times it is quite difficult to jump from one configuration app to another to use them. Android 11 will have quick access to all the smart devices installed in your home directly from the power button menu : you just have to press and hold this button and you will see the controls for all your smart bulbs, locks, thermostats and any other you have set up at home.

Better multimedia control

As bluetooth headsets become more and more popular, multimedia controls have also become complicated, especially on Android. Google knows this and has decided to improve them in Android 11: now you can quickly change the device on which your music is played , and take it from the headphones to the speaker, plus it will not be necessary to reopen Spotify after closing it to listen to your music if you pause since everything can be managed from the notification menu.

Better privacy control

Google has decided to take privacy more seriously, and now the company will allow you to grant apps unique access to certain functions, such as your camera or microphone. So if you need it for a function, but don't want to leave the possibility of its use open, you will be able to control it much better.

Additionally, Google will automatically reset the permissions granted to an app if you haven't used it for a long time, which is certainly a good security measure in case an app changes its policies or is compromised.

Share location: the feature that Pixel launches exclusively

All the above functions will be available for any device that has updated its operating system to Android 11, however Google also announced some exclusive launches for its Pixel devices, among them is the option to share the location in real time , which will serve to meet with friends or clients who have decided to share their location with you. It will be displayed as an augmented reality screen as illustrated in the following image:

On Pixel it will also be easier to take screenshots or copy text from applications: just swipe up and hold down to access the app card view, from which you can choose to take a screenshot, edit the image or select text from the screen, even text that you normally wouldn't be able to select on Android.

To update to the new Android 11 operating system, you will simply have to access the system settings and look for the update, but if it does not appear yet, it may be that you do not have a compatible device, since the rest of the mobile devices will have to wait for their update date depending on its brand and model.
