The new OS will now be more people-centric with Conversation notifications, Buubles, Consolidated keyboard suggestions, and Voice Access.

It will also have an easier Device Controls and Media Controls as well as improved Privacy features. Android 11 will have One-time permission, Permissions auto-reset, Background location, and Google Play System Updates.

There is an all-new Google Play Console to help developers grow their business.

For us, here are its top new features:

1. One-Time Permissions

2. Bubbles (Facebook Messenger Chat heads for all messaging/chat apps)

3. New Conversation category in Notifications

4. Updated Persistent MediaPlayer controls across UI

5. Redesigned Power Menu

The changes coming from Android 10 are subtle, but the Android 11 updates seem to be the refinements we need to make the overall Android experience better.
