<h2><strong>Screen recording:</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

Some phones had given this feature with built-in features. This screen recording feature was available in the Android 10 release but disappeared quickly. Google is providing this feature in the latest release with improvements. Once the user chooses the screen recording option, a pop-up will ask you about the confirmation for starting screen recording. As it is confirmed, it will record all activities done over the screen until you stop the feature. Users can easily capture the screen and share it with others.</p>

<h2><strong>Redesigned notifications:</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Android 11 version will bifurcate and sort the notifications into appropriate sections. Hence it would be easier to respond to any messages if they are kept in easy to read sections and continue other operations. It will ensure that you are only shown the stuff that you think is much important to be seen or responded to. Whenever you receive a message you will see the latest ones in your notification section under the new conversations tab. This will enable you to respond to the key messages immediately and also reply to the messages more flexibly (adding attachments, pictures, etc) directly from the notification. Along with this change in the functional part, even the visual part of the notifications has been changed and built in the latest Android 11 release. There will be more transparency and enhancements to make it richer.</p>
