How Android 11 is better than Android 10
                     HOW ANDROID 11 IS 
BETTER THAN 
ANDROID 10
Conversations in the notification shade
• Android 11 is prioritizing seamless communication as there is 
now a dedicated section called Conversations at the top for 
messages from various installed chat apps. 
• Your active message notifications will show up above other 
notifications.

Chat Bubbles
• Chat bubbles will let you keep several active conversations on 
your home screen. 
• This should work like FB messenger bubbles, but other 
messaging apps in the Google Play store will be able to 
efficiently implement them.

Pin Apps in the Android Share menu
• Android 11 has an option to pin apps you frequently share with 
to the top of the list. 
• The option was there in Android 10 Beta but was revoked in 
the final version.

Native Screen Recording
• Custom skins from most Android manufacturers already have 
native screen recording feature, and the stock Android 11 will 
now have one as well.
• The feature was a part of Android 10 beta but was later pulled.

Check what Codecs your Headphones support
• Unlike on Android 10, the Bluetooth Audio Codec selection in 
Android 11 developer options greys out codecs that aren’t 
supported. 
• The Android 10 has the option as well, but unsupported codecs 
aren’t greyed out.

Option to check the Display Refresh Rate
• With high refresh rate screens increasingly becoming common, 
Google has added an option to show refresh rate under 
developer settings. 
• This is great since you won’t have to swift through shady apps 
to check if your phone’s screen is actually refreshing.

Conversation notifications
• In Android 10, the notification drawer contains all your 
notifications in a seemingly-haphazard list.
• In Android 11, that system changes. There are now three 
notification categories: Conversations, Alerting, and Silent.

Media controls
• If you are playing music on your Android 10 phone, a music 
player appears at the top of your notifications drawer. 
• With Android 11, that section of the drawer is now reserved for 
conversations, so the media player needed to move.

Smart device controls
• Android 11 will pre-populate this field with six of your devices, 
but you can add/remove devices as you see fit. 
• Whichever devices you settle on, you can tap them to turn 
lights on or off, check your security cameras, unlock your front 
door, etc.

Dark theme scheduling
• With Android 11, users can now schedule the dark theme using 
one of two different metrics. 
• You can schedule a dark theme to turn on or off when the sun 
sets or rises. 
• You can also set up a custom schedule for dark mode activation 
if you wish.
