The new delivery vows to make informing more adaptable and brings a lot of protection improvements. Then, a different lightweight Go version with a portion of similar highlights is pointed toward accelerating economical and more seasoned telephones. As normal for Android, the most recent OS will turn out steadily across gadget makers, however one master says that is a security hazard.

On dispatch day, Android 11 was made accessible immediately for Google's own Pixel telephones and was likewise prepared to download for specific telephones from OnePlus, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Realme. A rundown of when updates will be prepared for different telephones is accessible on the web.

In any case, the most recent OS includes unpredictability just as advantages, one UI master says.

"Designers are placing in new highlights, however the inquiry is how would you do that without surpassing restricted intellectual capacities. In the event that you take a gander at the Android OS, you need to solicit, is it taking out purposes of contact or simply adding highlights just to include highlights?"

Wong said there's a ton to like in the new OS, highlighting the new Bubbles include that is intended to make it simpler to send messages from any application.

Assume More Responsibility for Apps
