really it's only the first developer preview and google has released it even earlier than they usually do so the few big changes that are here are still a little janky but that jankiness can tell us what to expect from the future of Android so we installed Android 11 on our pixel 4xl so you don't have to seriously don't get this yet but what you should get is today's sponsor ting why pay for things you don't need or even use with a phone plan from ting you only pay for what you use so check it out at the link below to find out how much you can save so as usual this Android developer preview can only be installed on pixel devices and a couple of other models essential being one rest in pieces it requires a bit of know-how in order to flash the os and has a bunch of glitches as we said a minute ago if you're not actually a developer you should not install this on your personal device unless you're looking to make your phone simultaneously more interesting and less usable okay so let's dive in probably the most noticeable end user facing feature in this release is the built-in screen recorder it's pretty bare bones with no options for anything like frame rate or resolution but hey it's it's finally there google teased us by adding this feature to the developer preview of Android 10 and then yanking it from the final release but while it was hidden in the developer options last year this time around it's right there in the quick settings which indicates we'll probably see it in the version that ships a man can dream next up is bubbles or as most people know them basically the facebook messenger chat heads this was another feature found in the Android 10 developer options in Android 11 it's properly baked in long pressing on any message notification will give you the option to pop it out as an always on top bubble and if you find even having that option to be offensive you can disable bubbles for specific apps right now there's a glitch where tapping the bubble will open the whole app which i'm pretty sure isn't supposed to happen but i'm pretty sure i'm not supposed to download these developer previews either so now you might also notice that messages are now grouped together in the notification panel under conversations so you don't have to scroll through a million celebrity gossip notifications before you find your friend's text neat i don't have those on my phone i don't have celebrities now for some smaller features we finally got a proper dark mode google calls it dark theme in Android 10 and now like do not disturb night light and the focus mode you can schedule it to turn on and off at certain times to correspond with when you're feeling more edgy pinning items to the share menu makes a return from freaking Android nougat bluetooth will stay on if you have something like headphones connected when you turn on airplane mode and the pixel 4 specifically has another motion sense gesture tapping the air above your phone will pause and play music making that feature about 1.65 percent more useful there's a bunch more tiny changes but before we get to that i want to talk about what is useful in this release because it's really the more under the hood stuff in Android 10 we got the option to let an app use a certain permission like location access or audio recording all the time none of the time or only when we were using it and in Android 11 you can grant access to an app only this time for greater privacy control if you deny an app a certain permission twice it will stop asking you not only that but background location permissions which let an app grab your location anytime it wants will basically be off for all apps even google maps unless the user specifically goes into settings and enables it there's some more cool under the hood stuff 12 new modules are being added to project mainline that's google's initiative for streamlining Android updates by kind of breaking the os into chunks that can be individually updated through the play store instead of making people wait for the big giant system update to get to their phone more modules means more os elements that can be updated that way so you always want more modules but things are a bit less clear when it comes to another Android 11 change the arrival of scoped storage this is less of a new feature and more of a fundamental restructuring of the way Android handles its entire file system basically each app has its own isolated storage instead of every app having access to every part of your phone there would be a few common directories that every app could access like the music photos and downloads folders although you could grant apps like file explorers access to the whole system this would be a huge step forward for security and privacy as it means one bad app couldn't snoop around your whole system and message your secret cookie recipe to the whole office secret cookie recipe what it's it's nudes i'm talking about nudes the problem is some developers don't seem super down with the idea partially because a it requires a bunch of work to modify their apps to work with the new system and b google has chosen an API called storage access framework or saf that's way slower at reading and writing files than the existing API google basically gave devs a warning with Android 10 that they'd be making the change and there's some indication that with some optimizations saf's performance impact isn't so horrible in Android 11. so hopefully either devs suck it up or google capitulates and chooses a different API and i'm sorry developers it's probably going to be the first one but don't be sad because now we're going to fly through the rest of the tiny things hidden in the developer preview that's fun first off swiping between home screens has a little jiggle now what is this Android jello sorry there's a hidden page for notification history so we might get the ability to see what notification we just accidentally swiped away that would be very welcome a hidden command can put media playback controls into the quick settings menu instead of in a notification which would make both the media controls and the notifications that are usually beneath it slightly easier to access in the developer options there's a toggle to display a fraps style refresh rate indicator but on the pixel 4 it only really switches between 60 and 90. so hopefully that gets more granular there's a settings page for battery share indicating the pixel 5 might be able to charge other devices like samsung's wireless power share cool and you can tell what bluetooth codec your wireless headphones or speaker is using in the developer options i like and then there are some features hidden in the code that other people on the web were able to activate but i couldn't because i'm just a simple boy you might be able to customize a double tap on the back of pixel phones to launch a particular app you might be able to split the notifications and quick settings menus so you can swipe on the left or right side to only call down one or the other and you might be able to choose specific colors for your quick settings icons so you can differentiate them more easily oh wait you can definitely do that because i did it with some adb commands a kid on my level but again all of those features may or may not make it to the final release of Android 11 when it launches probably with the pixel 5 this fall google just throws us some crumbs and we have to either eat them or buy a non-pixel phone and install a launcher and get all these features through third-party apps anyway so really either way you can get what you want and if what you want to do is mask your ip and encrypt traffic to and from your device you want private internet access they have reliable service with over 3 000 servers in 30 countries there's no bandwidth caps and with configurable encryption and an internet kill switch you are in control of your connection when combined with private browsing it can even make websites think you're in a different country connect up to five devices at once with clients for Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux and their mace feature blocks requests to known malware and tracking domains altogether so it's awesome check it out today at the link below hey thanks for watching guys if you're looking for something else to watch now go watch the video where we installed Android on a nintendo switch so it's a blue let's blow your mind dude"}
