Let us begin!

5 G-ready Android

Android 11 will have ‘Dynamic Meteredness API’ that helps the devices in taking benefit of the full potential of 5G. If the API detects that you are under a 5G network, it will quickly get the full audio and video that the network allows.

Screen recorder build-in

This feature was long overdue as well as highly expected from the new version of Android. The IOS already has a screen recorder, and it was high time that Android got this functionality as well. Android 11 will come up with a feature-filled screen recorder with a UI.

With foldable displays, OS has evolved for smooth optimization. Android 11 adds support for foldable displays that are going to become popular in the coming years.

Improvements in messaging

One-time permissions for apps

Android 10 has modularized the way permissions were handled on the OS Android 11 further improving this functionality. Users can grant permissions to apps on a per-case basis, and that permission will be revoked once the app is closed.

Let’s see how will Android 11 features impact your existing mobile app and what changes it will bring. Let us begin!

Lowered data redundancy

To minimize data redundancy on local storage and network, Android 11 caches large datasets using shared data blobs. In the previous Android versions, two separate apps were needed to download a separate copy of databases.

Ability to restrict app permissions

Android 11 will change how the dialogue box appears in the apps. If a user disallows permission two times, Android 11 will consider it as “do not ask again”. The app providers will then have to explain why an app needs permissions and what it does with the data.

APK installation

Android has lengthy app installations time since forever. Android 11 allows the users to launch the app and continue installing the app in the background.

Support for 5G

With the latest Android 11, the hardware will reap the maximum benefits of the 5G network. Low latency and faster file transfers will be supported by Android 11, which will help in improving productivity across the board.

App usage statistics

Android 11 will be able to store app usage statistics in an encrypted usage is visible in two scenarios- when the user unlocks their device or switch to their account. Mobile app development services need to find new ways to access this data.

Secured data

Support for neutral networks
