So, it’s the talk of the industry; Android 11 is the latest upcoming OS from Google. Android 10 has already brought significant changes in the OS, and Android 11 further brings new changes to the platform that was left after Android 10. Android 10 was a testament to the growth that Google has taken, and Android 11 features are going to carry forward the same principles now.
With every new update, there is a lot of anticipation and excitement among the users and developers. The app owners also look forward to the launch of the latest version and what changes are there in the new version of Android.
Before we begin with the impact of Android 11 features on mobile apps, let us first see what the features introduced in Android 11 are-
There are five major features introduced in this version,
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.
- Easy adaptation to different display types
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
Google has been working on improving the messaging experience of Android users, and they have come up with enhanced messaging in the Android 11 version. Chat bubbles have been introduced, and conversations are embedded in the notification center.
- 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.
Now that we have looked into the five primary features of Android 11 let us progress further to discuss how these additions would bring a change in the functionality of your mobile app.
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.

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
The new Android 11 will help you in storing the data in a secure way. The new OS 11 is focussing on protecting the user’s data better than the previous OS. It also provides control to the users for using their data by providing one-time permission.
