The company has said that the focus has been on privacy with it. For example, if an app is accessing your location in the background, then the app developers will need approval for this. Apart from this, many types of visual changes will be found.
— Google has said that Android 11 is being made more user-centric and expressive than before. Under this, we will now see a change in the conversion notification.
— Under features such as bubble, voice access and keyboard optimization, users will have ease of multi-tasking. Under voice access, the on-device will be able to understand the visual cortex screen and context and take commands.
— In Android 11, users can easily access connected devices under device control. These controls can be activated by long-pressing the power button.
— Under media control, users can rapidly change the output device. TV, headphones or speakers.
— Under one time permission, the application can be given access to the device’s microphone, camera or location one by one. The good thing is that if the app asks for your phone’s microphone, camera and location access, then this user will be asked.
In Android 11 is whenever you request permission of Camera, Location or microphone you will get one dialog where you will see an option “Only This Time”. If you select this option, then you get temporary one-time permission.
Now you can access your related data for the period of time it will depend on your app behaviour. If your app is visible to you then you can access your data. But if your app is in the background then an only a short period of time data will be available. If you launch a foreground service while the activity is visible, and the user then moves your app to the background, your app can continue to access the data until that foreground service stops.
You can stop the access of one time permission by going to system setting, you cannot access data by any means. So you can revoke access.
— Features like background location, permission auto reset will prevent the company apps from accessing the user’s location in the background. If you have not used an app for a long time under the Auto Reset feature, then the permission given by you to the app will be reset.
— Under Google Play system update, the company will work on the module that is already double updated. The company says that this will improve the privacy, security of the user.
The Android 11 beta update can be downloaded for the latest Google Pixel smartphones from Pixel 2 to now. In the coming time, the company may release a list of eligible smartphones for this.
Among the new features being added to Android 11 are one time access to location, microphone and camera data access. Due to this new feature, developers will get more and more information. Due to this new option, developers who create the app will get access to the user’s data as long as the user uses the app. If the user leaves using an app, then the developer will not have access to the data related to the user’s location etc.
Android 11 gives users the ability to specify more granular permissions.
