What features and improvements are you most looking forward to in Android 11?

[Bla1ze]

While Android 11 seems pretty slim on UI changes, it does seem as though there is a lot of under the hood changes happening. We covered the top 10 features on the blogs - https://www.androidcentral.com/top-10-things-you-need-know-about-android-11 but what features and improvements are you most looking forward to in Android 11?

Bubbles and screen recording.

Better compatibility between full gestures and third party launchers. The first DP didn't include any change on this, unfortunately.

I'm looking forward to the iOS-like Permissions changes.

I'm not looking forward to Chat Head-style messaging.

I have this chat head style on the S10+ running Android 10. I find it really useful.

I like digital license and documents.

I like the Chat Head style but hopefully, it's an optional thing. I wouldn't really want it on all the time.

Also hyped about the permissions. If the chat heads aren't optional for whatever reason, I'm moving off Android until they are.

Same. I will use Handcent or Textra.

I honestly don't even use chat bubbles now and had a disabled and Android 10 beta. But I am looking forward to a super organized notification shade, and the ability to bring back accidentally dismissed notifications. Other than that, yeah the permissions, and resizable picture and picture mode.

I haven't heard too much about the Android 11 release or anything to expect so all of this is kind of eye opening for me. I currently use Google Messages with the chat bubble type of display. It's Ok, but it's not great. Not sure what could be done to make it better but I seemed to like it better when I used to have Facebook and Messenger for some reason.

I would like the accidental recovery of notifications if that's a thing. I get to swiping and sometimes take it too far. For me it's not a deal breaker either way.

So what's the deal with iOS "type" permissions? How does iOS do it differently? I've noticed since A10 that there seems to be emphasis on location all of the sudden. For two weeks almost every app that opened asked how I wanted to handle location. I still get every once in awhile and for a short time I had one app that just seemed to insist on having its status changed. As far as permissions go I do kind of miss internet access being a permission. I haven't noticed any data hogs and I have unlimited but I also don't' feel everything needs internet at will.
