Users can access easily Android 11 screen recording features and can record whatever they want.

Without any third-party mobile app, by this inbuilt Android 11 screen recording feature, you can capture and record the activities over the screen smoothly and comfortably. The screen recording feature can mostly be used to teach & providing demonstrations to others.

2. New permission ‘Ask Every Time’.

In the Android 11 Developers developed a new option called ‘Ask Every Time’ that it can be a more secure and personal touch over permissions.

You will see, whenever you open any mobile app, it will ask you to grant permission. In the last versions of android OS phones, the apps only ask you for one time to grant permissions after installation and on the first run. But here in Android 11, Google makes a change in granting the permission system that allows users to control app permissions before using any of your personal data on your Android phone.

The use of this feature is to protect all your activities in your mobile, whether it may affecting any application or your imp data like contact and location. The purpose of this feature is to keep secure your contact and personal details by allowing it to take your permission every time when you open any app.

3. Faster screen refresh rates.

Good news for games. The latest craze among the users is that they always wanted to perform their smartphones in the higher refresh rate. Higher refresh rates mean smoother video run.

Finally, here Android developers provide you this option though Android 11. There is a toggle in the mobile Settings called “Show refresh rate” for the display. After enabling this feature, you can see a digital view on the upper left-hand corner, it indicates the refresh rate. Also, you can control the refresh rate as per your work activities over the mobile. By higher refresh rate you can play games and videos in the faster frame rate and even with the higher resolution, you will experience smoothness while playing high graphic games.

The more refresh rate running in your mobile, the more you will experience a better quality while gaming as well as any high graphical video on your Android 11 mobile. That’s why the screen refresh rate is much important for gaming and better viewing experience.

4. Schedule a dark theme.

The 'dark mode' is a feature that also added in android 11, probably you might be used this before in the previous android versions and with the many applications as well. In previous versions of Android, there is only this feature that you can only enable and disable the dark mode without scheduling. But in new Android 11, you can schedule your dark mode theme on your mobile as per your choice based on the time & day you setup. That means from sunset to sunrise or any customized time, you can control your screen and theme as you want. You can access Android 11 dark mode options via the settings menu and on notification panel too.

While if you work on mobile at night, it is better to choose a dark mode option at that time. A normal mode can harm your eyes and affect the viewing experience at the night; so by considering this factor, scheduling dark mode features is developed in this version of Android 11.

This is nothing but you can work with multitasking, while doing your work in the mobile you don’t need to open any messaging app to reply, chat bubble can help you to reply faster without opening the app.

6. Single time app permissions.

Previously on Android 10 and the last few Android versions, we had provided the feature that allows the one-time permission for any app to access your location, camera, or microphone when you open at first. But in the case of Android 11, we will have a one-time permission setting that will enable usage permission only for a single time.

When you install any app, at that time frequently you need to access permissions about your contact and location. By this feature, you don’t need to allow permission frequently. An only single time you can give the app permissions. It will not be bothering you again.

7. Scrolling screenshots.

Scrolling screenshots let you capture much more of a page than what’s visible on your screen and this functionality has finally come to stock Android with Android 11. You can capture screenshots by scrolling down your mobile screen.

Suppose if any important work is going on in your mobile and suddenly if you want to capture a screenshot of any imp data, you can easily have a screenshot with scrolling down the screen on Android 11.
