Top Features Of Android 11 Transforming Mobile App Development

“With Android 11 coming up, global curiosity is shooting for the stars. Everyone wants to know how it could be different from Android 10, and how it would affect the developing team.”

The introduction of Android 11 is set to stun the world with its mind-blowing capabilities. It is set to ameliorate the user experience to an unmatchable level. Since Android is running on the top mobile operating system, it is obvious that it would be gutted with advanced features. The tech giant, Google has not been able to support businesses and the developers with the updates, in order to help mobile app development.



With the brand new update, Android 11, the audience from all over the world would witness gargantuan new features and several technical enhancements, that can completely change the foundation of mobile apps. Let us take a look at a few of the features that are bringing in change for the better. 

1. Improved compatibility of the applications

Google is thinking about including an app compatibility feature with Android 11. With these features, the developing team would be able to curate an environment for application testing, where the developers don't need to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) shell commands.

The company is trying to transform the working of OS into different updates. With the new version, we would witness the OS refrain from the use of useless APIs.

2. Introduction of automated shortcuts

After the introduction of the famous Siri Shortcuts by Apple, Google is very eager to launch its own set of automated options. Yes, the company did provide automated options through Google Assistant Routines. This could be easily accessed with the help of the 'Routine' option present in the Google Assistant tab.

The routine automation can automate tasks like switching on/off the lights, air conditioner, or any other smart device in the smart home. These automated tasks can be triggered by phrases like 'Good morning' or 'I am home'. To be honest, there are a lot of routines that can be easily automated.

For Google, the automated that can be used directly was lacking for long. But now, with Android 11, the company has got a great new way to introduce shortcuts. With shortcuts, the need for third-party apps would decrease. 

3. Welcome scoped storage

With Android 5.0 Lollipop, Goggle also introduced the Storage Access Framework. It was done to help the developers to access file systems like file manager, image editor, etc. But because of its poor reliability and performance faults, the developing team has been refraining from using the same.

The purpose of Google behind the introduction of SAF was to restrict access to public files. It was a strong move for an OS to boost safety measures. But the persisting performance issues made Google rethink the complete strategy.

Android 11 would bring in the required changes with 'scoped storage'. This would transform the way we access files. This would let applications to store and read the data/information. The information would be stored in secure folders with restricted access to photos, audios, and videos.     

The motive of scoped storage is to take care of malware and spyware. It prohibits malicious entities from accessing public data, keeping the system's security intact. There are chances that the company might provide more access to file managers.

4. New Motion Sense Gesture 

This is the new feature coming up with Android 11 and it is like tapping in the air just above the smartphone. To get it on point is like moving a mountain, but if done right can bring in much praise. This cool gesture was missing from the entirely new music control suite, but the wait is now over.

As already mentioned it is like a light tap in the air, which curbs the need for the user to tap on the screen intentionally.



These are the top four advantages that we would soon encounter with Android 11. But to know all the benefits in detail, and how it actually works, we need to wait until the launch.
