Android 11 beta’s best new features
Google has just released the Android 11 beta for Pixel devices. This is exciting news because it gives us a glimpse into what kind of new features Google is working on for the official Android 11 release which is scheduled for later in the year. Given that this is a beta, there is a chance that things could change upon the full public release.
Google has a history of including a handful of new features in its beta releases that don’t make the final cut. That being said, we’ve highlighted the biggest new features included in Android 11 beta which will hopefully be making their way to your Android phone in the near future. Let us know which new Android 11 feature you’re looking forward to the most.
Android 11 seems to be where Google is looking to enhance the privacy of Android by giving users more control over location permissions. Whenever you launch an app for the first time or when it asks to use your location, users will now have more options where they can choose to only allow location access while the app is in use, to outright deny access to location, or to only allow it to access your location this one time.
If you’re unfamiliar with an app or just need to use it once or twice, then having this greater degree of control over how it handles your location could be useful, especially if you’re concerned about your privacy. Users will also be able to enable location all the time, but they will need to go into Android’s settings to do so.
