Back in October, Google announced an Android Developer Challenge to look for apps that take advantage of machine learning. As part of the 11 Weeks of Android, the 10 winners were revealed today.
Of the issues with the Android 11 Beta, one that seems the most frustrating are the reports of choppy video playback.
Alongside the Pixel series, the Android 11 Beta is available for a number of third-party devices, which includes the OnePlus 8 series.
Google’s Android 11 Beta finally dropped recently, and in the various official coverage of the release, there’s a slick-looking wallpaper that strangely isn’t in the current release. Now, we’ve uncovered it so you can download it on your device.
In launching Android 11 Beta 1 last week, Google dramatically expanded the number of users testing the next major version of its operating system. The company is now running an Android 11 Beta software survey to get “feedback on the latest version of Android 11.”
Up to this point on Android, when any file is deleted, be it a photo you took or a song you downloaded, it’s immediately gone forever. With Android 11, Google has quietly introduced a new trash folder that can help keep your photos and more from being accidentally deleted.
Yesterday’s debut of Android 11 Beta 1 brought along with it a handful of new features that might entice some users to jump on the early release. However, if you often rely on Google Pay, you should probably avoid the Android 11 Beta for now.
Alongside the Android 11 Beta, OnePlus is testing a newer version of its camera app in that release. OnePlus Camera 5.4.10 adds a handful of new features including quick share, a revamped zoom UI, and more. Here’s what’s new and what will, eventually, make its way to past OnePlus devices.
While there are many OS-level features in Android 11 Beta 1, other changes require app developers to manually integrate. Google Messages in the coming weeks will support Android 11’s Bubbles API.
Google’s Android developer previews are pretty stable considering they’re early versions of software, but they’re still prone to random issues. With Android 11 DP4, Google is warning Pixel 4 owners that face unlock will be broken if they downgrade back to Android 10.
Android 11’s first beta brought along with it a handful of nice tweaks and changes, but the one we ended up covering the most was the platform’s new media controls. The feature is clearly something Google cares a lot about, too, so here’s our question for you — what do you think about the new media controls?
The long wait is over for a “usable” version of Android 11 with the release of the Beta 1 update which we can actually recommend you install on your device. And of course, that means we have been delving in to figure out what the top new features are of the pre-release OS.
The Android 11 Beta phase is now branching out to even more devices, with the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro now getting their own taste of the pre-release OS upgrade.
Yesterday, Google debuted the Android 11 Beta, but only for its Pixel smartphones. The company teased that other Android partners would announce beta programs “soon,” and now another pair is speaking up. The Xiaomi Mi 10 series and the Poco F2 Pro are now promised the Android 11 Beta.
Today was the big day for the twice-delayed Android 11 Beta to arrive on Google’s Pixel phones, bringing a year’s worth of improvements. But the question on our minds is: did you install the Android 11 Beta?
Google’s Nest service is central to many people’s home security, and one perk of the brand’s camera is the ability to get notifications when movement is detected. If you’re on Android 11’s first beta release, though, beware — Nest notifications don’t show video previews.
Google dropped the first Android 11 Beta today, but only for its own Google Pixel smartphones. Like past years, though, the Android 11 Beta Program will be extending to other Android phones, we just don’t know which ones.
We’ve only had our hands on the Android 11 Beta for a few hours, but I can already say that my personal favorite feature is “media resumption.” The revamp of how Android 11 handles media players and music controls is full of welcome changes, but perhaps its best feature is the ability to show controls for multiple music apps at the same time.
In the past couple of years, Google has made a push for improving accessibility on Android with tools such as Sound Amplifier, Live Caption, and others. One of those tools, Voice Access, is also getting a huge upgrade to go along with Android 11 which enables it to understand what’s on your display.
Android 11’s first beta is here, and with it, a bunch of changes to the platform. Hidden in the background, though, is what appears to be a big change for how Android treats emergency alerts, as well as overdue support for those alerts in the Spanish language.
Android 11’s first public beta release dropped today and, with it, a handful of really slick new changes. Also, within every release like this Google makes little tweaks and one of those is visible on the homescreen. Now, your wallpaper “zooms” in when accessing notifications on Android 11.
Lockscreen controls on Android used to be pretty complex, but Google has gone the way of simplicity for that portion of the platform. With Android 11, though, Google has given lockscreen media controls a facelift, but it only applies to certain settings.
