“Adjusting the temperature, turning on the lights or
unlocking the front door can now be done with a tap
without opening multiple apps,” Google says. The menu
will also give you quick access to any credit cards you
saved over Google Pay or to your airline tickets.
Google also wants to address how people are constantly
switching where their phone’s audio content is played
from, whether it be wireless earbuds, Bluetooth
speakers, or a smart TV. Android 11 tries to make this
easier by including a dedicated button on the music
track that’ll let you toggle between the devices on which
you’d like to play the audio.
On privacy, Android 11 expands the ways you can limit
your data from being shared with third-party apps.
You’ll now be able to select “one-time permission” for
an app to access your phone’s microphone, camera, or
location data. “The next time the app needs access to
these sensors, it will have to ask you for permission
again,” Google says. (Currently, in Android 10, you can
limit the access to when the third-party app is active or
shut down the access completely.)
