Nice nice, let me know if your Gboard works correctly with chat heads. mine's crashing driving me nuts I already sent up a bug report but my chat heads are reliable and they're fine now more so than in beta 2.

Mine was acting up also, so we see if this fixed it , but I'll have to charge it up to download

Nah dude see mine was acting fine and beta 2, and beta 3, with the chat heads and Android messages, Gboard consistently force crushes every single time. I've sent up feedback to Google via Gboard app, and then Android 11 beta feedback. It's so annoying... Especially since this is the beta 3! Right now I have to turn off the chat head feature because it's unusable can't even use voice typing of course.

So far third update working well. Not as much freezing as before and my smart lock is finally working like it should. Yay!

how come I'm so lucky that! I will say that most of my apps are running faster and smoother and better three. Google Assistant for Android Auto does work. It's just the weird issue I was talking about before. The gboard with the chat head bubbles is annoying. I have submitted two different bug crash reports to Google already. I've had to disable my chat bubbles because Gboard just doesn't work in that mode.

I gave up on chat bubbles a while ago. Too much of a hassle. I don't like all that stuff on the screen.

Haha oh really? The reason I've liked them, is because they're very fun, and interactive to use. I can understand what you're talking about though. So you're telling me that you don't use that bubble shortcut for ongoing phone conversations that lands itself on the home screen? Lol so just out of curiosity, how do you respond back to ongoing messages? From the notification are you going to the messages app itself for each conversation?

Yup, I just pull down the notification tab from the top and either respond there or go directly into the app.

Gotcha gotcha, well, fair enough. That's why I love the chat bubbles. Quick and interactive way to respond back to any kind of message you need to.

I get it and that's the best thing about Android. Options for to optimize individual usage!

oh hell yeah! I mean thankfully, this Gboard force crashing issue was not a big deal since I can go back into the main app itself and message! It just better be good for the final release! Lol. And you're right, that is the beauty of Android overall...

How is Beta 3 working?? I'm getting the itch to join the Beta group.

Been solid from the start. Never an issue using it as a daily.

Honestly , with my pixel 3XL running Android 11 beta 3, is as mentioned above, and Android messages chat head bubbles, my Gboard force crashes every single time. I have sent up multiple bug report logs to Google. That's one of my favorite features to use of Android 11 so far. Other than that though, most other apps are running fast responsive and smooth on my phone.
