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.
Say you haven’t used an app for a long period of time. Instead of it sitting idly on your phone and still enjoying the same permission levels it used to have, Android 11 will now reset those permissions. This means that after an extended period of not using an app, the permissions you had previously granted it will be reset, so when you open the app again, you will need to grant those permissions all over again.
While this might be annoying, it could deal with bad or malicious updates, where an app you might not have used for a long time could be updated where in the update, there might be some changes that could exploit the already-granted permissions and you wouldn’t necessarily be the wiser.
