Some people have received the suspended Android 11 official update. Come and see what new features are included

Just a few days ago, Google announced on its official Twitter account @AndroidDev that the release of the Android 11 beta version on June 3 and related activities would be postponed. Google said that although they are excited to tell everyone more about Android 11, it is not the time to celebrate. The postponement of the event may be related to some recent events in the United States, but in any case, the official decision was made to postpone the release. But in fact, some people still received the OTA update of the Android 11 beta version.

Among the users who received the OTA update is Mishaal Rahman from xda-developers, who has been posting about some new features of the Android 11 beta version on his Twitter. It is not yet known why he received these updates, but it does not prevent us from taking a look at some of the new features of the Android 11 beta version from the information he posted.

According to Mishaal Rahman’s tweet, the Android 11 beta version has the following major changes:

1. Three new icon shapes

This time, the Android 11 beta version updated three icon shapes. The official names are Pebble, TaperedRect, and Vessel. These icons that are neither round nor square have caused a lot of complaints from netizens. Mishaal Rahman’s tweet has attracted a lot of complaints, but some netizens said they quite like it.

2. New submenu where you can enable bubble notifications

This time, the Android 11 beta version adds a new submenu for enabling bubble notifications. The path to enable it is: Settings > Apps & notifications > Notifications > Bubble notifications.

3. New "Power Menu" settings

In this new "Power Menu" setting option, some functions that can control various cards and passes have been added. According to the screenshots, it is possible that users will be able to control some functions in the mobile phone card package in Android 11.

4. New media controls

This feature was discovered a long time ago and has been retained in this beta version of Android 11. When users play music on Android 11, the notification bar will display the music player, and users can control the music playback directly in the notification bar.

5. New developer option: Enhanced WiFi random MAC address

Starting from Android 8.0, Android devices will use random MAC addresses when searching for new networks to protect user privacy. According to Mishaal Rahman's tweet, a feature has been added to the developer options of the Android 11 beta version to use the enhanced random MAC address feature.

6. Added graphics in voice assistant related options

The Android 11 beta adds some graphical options to the settings for "TalkBack" and "Select to Speak Accessibility," which look more intuitive overall.

7. New app suggestion options

This feature will give usage suggestions for some specific apps to help unfamiliar users use these apps better. Judging from the screenshots, this feature is more targeted at Google's full range of apps.

In addition, some new options have been added to Google's Pixel launcher, where users can choose whether to enable suggestion options for various applications.

Mishaal Rahman's revelations about the Android 11 beta version are pretty much the same as above. Google has postponed the release of the related content, and ordinary users will most likely not receive related updates in the near future. Users who want to try it out can only wait for official news from Google. However, judging from the leaked new features, the Android 11 beta version does not seem to have added a lot of updated content, and some places also have the shadow of iOS. It seems that the gap between the various systems in terms of user experience will become smaller and smaller in the future. After seeing these leaked features, are you still looking forward to Android 11?
