Android 11 Quick Control

Devices that are running over Android 11 should press and hold the power button to bring up the Quick Control screen. On Google Pixel devices, the Quick Control screen provides some shortcuts related to boarding passes and Google Pay cards. Below it, there will be a Smart Home devices section.

Google Assistant’s New Hold for Me Feature

Through the Hold for Me feature, users won’t have to hear the annoying loop music on call. This new feature of Google Assistant is available for Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. The new Hold for Me feature will now let the user watch or anything on the screen while on a phone call and alert the user when the other person finally answers.

To activate the Hold for Me feature, users must open the Phone app, and click on three-dots and move into Settings>Hold for Me.

New Messages Notification

Users who are using Android 11 must have recognized a change that happened in Messages. Having a lot of messages in the Messages app can indeed get really messy, so Android 11 has tried to sort this out. Now, if anyone wants to get alert from a particular conversation and keep the rest aside, they can press and hold on to the particular conversation and choose as Priority. That certain conversation will appear on the notification bar, and other notifications will remain hidden.

Messaging Bubbles for Useful Contacts

Bubbles were also part of Android 10, but Google didn’t keep it longer and re-launched in Android 11. Bubbles are similar to chat heads of Facebook Messenger that show on the screen. By tapping on the bubble, users can open any chat quickly and drag the bubble to remove it from the screen.

To use the Bubbles for a certain conversation, click on the small bubble logo at the bottom right side of the notification bar. Click it, and the Bubble thread will activate. To remove the bubble, users must press and hold on the bubble, and a small X will appear at the bottom of the screen. Drag the bubble to the X icon, and the bubble will be removed from the screen.

In-Built Screen Recorder

Screen recorders are useful in many ways, and Android 11 has brought an in-built screen recorder for their users. If anyone wants to share a short clip of gameplay, they can record their screen and save it on their device to share it with anyone. The screen recorder feature is available in Quick Settings.

Conclusion

All these new features are going to be very helpful for Android users. Android 11 has brought many more features, but the above-mentioned features are highly requested and useful. Hopefully, Android 11 will bring more new features in the future to power up the device even more.
