Google Officially Launched The First Android 11 Beta 
June 14, 2020 
For most people, this is a first chance to see changes coming to the wider Android ecosystem. A bunch of new features are for developers and phone makers, like better 5G support, or Google Play features to help apps find audiences.

• The main changes aren’t sweeping new visuals or adaptations, but expected only a few years ago. 
• Android is now a more complete and mature operating system, refinement is everything. Google's task is making the phone better.
• What’s new is focused on conversations and notifications, navigation (including by voice!), multitasking, and privacy/permissions.

 
The explorers of the Android 11 Beta confirm the early developer previews is on the money.

• Conversations and notifications: Android 11 now prioritizes messaging conversations in notifications. And, gives you more options for setting notifications to priority (letting them even break Do Not Disturb settings), alerting, and silent. Plus, chat bubbles now exist for all apps: floating orbs that offer swift multitasking to open a message window and conversation easily. Think chat heads from Facebook Messenger, but for all apps, if you want them.
• Easier device and media controls: Media player controls now head to the quick settings bar, as you can see above, rather than acting as notifications. Which I like, and about 80% agree with me in this poll so far. Smart home controls are now in the long-press power menu, too. Plus, there str shortcuts to an emergency button, and Google Pay.
• Suggested apps row now offers whatever apps Google thinks you want, but I mean, most people have a set of dock apps that exist in expected positions, so I’m not sure about that one.
• Native screen recording, and muting notifications during video are both small, but welcome features, and I like the new one-time permission option for giving an app your location temporarily, not forever. Also, auto-revoke permissions, where Android will automatically revoke permissions such as camera, location, and more, from apps that haven’t been used for a few months or so. This is great.
• The airplane mode won’t turn off a Bluetooth connection. A Voice Access accessibility feature looks really useful for helping people, via an ‘on-device visual cortex’.

 
Google is improving Android further, trying to help navigate chat apps and conversations more quickly and easily, hide chats when appropriate, and pull back much further on app permissions.
