How the current version of OS is better than the previous one?

Answer:

1. Google has been playing around with this feature since the early builds of Android 10. Now, a new
Screen Record icon is present in the Quick Settings selections on top of the display. We expect the
feature to make it to the final version this time around.

2. Bubbles are basically like Facebook Messenger chat heads but for other apps. The feature was
actually launched with Android 10. However, Google is finally bringing it to the forefront. It works with
apps like Telegram and WhatsApp just fine.

3. The feature was introduced with Android 7 Nougat. However, the recent Android sharing menu has
been a mess. In a bid to counter this, Android 11 will allow you to pin four apps you share to the most
frequently, to the top of share menu.

4. Notifications can be irritating at times, especially when you are trying to click cute pictures of your
pet. With Android 11, Google is introducing a new camera API called setCameraAudioRestriction(). It will
enable developers to allow their apps to mute sounds, vibrations, or both while the camera app is open.
5. Up until Android 10, turning on Airplane mode would also kill the Bluetooth. However, it’s changing
with Android 11. Now, Bluetooth stays on when Airplane mode is activated.
