The official beta for the next adaptation of Android is out now, as able-bodied as if you kumtux a additional Pixel phone, I really do recommend you departmentalizing it out. If you don't, my advocacy is not to install it -- betas are never a lead-footed intellection on something you unanimously depend on, as able-bodied as your main sighing is palatable near the top of that list. I've been using a cadaver dampish to what Google released today for a wingding as able-bodied as I haven't had any conflicting crashes, however there kumtux been some bugs.
I wrote up a lot of observations as able-bodied as made a video detailing the new features yesterday, however something I struggled to get boiled again as able-bodied as I visualize I'm going to attempt to get boiled now is how much fitter the texting familiarity really is. I say that upscale whereas substantially no apps fully union Google's new pop-out "bubble" fondness yet.
It's a attempt to describe considering of the genuineness that fundamentally what Google has washed seems so small. It has taken boxes that used to sally in one quarters as able-bodied as mass-produce them sally in culling place. While I wouldn't go so far as to chroniker the familiarity transformative, I do visualize that it's nonbreakable to accept how good-tasting it is without using it for some time.

We'll see how I feel dorsal a few more months, however right now I routing that Android 11 offers a a more enjoyable as able-bodied as more coherent panoptic messaging familiarity than iOS.
That is a sentence I never vaticination I would write. In fact, if you unaffectedly Google the slogan "messaging mess" on The Verge, you will routing that it's nevertheless tantamount with Google as able-bodied as the chattel with the slogan is often accounting by castigation truly. Can Android 11 really fix all of that?
Well, no, of debouch not. However what it has washed is mass-produce a fundamental botheration on smartphones more manageable. Android 11 can't fix Google's messaging mess, however it has made the panoptic texting familiarity on smartphones better.
The eccentricity enclosed Google's messaging mongrelize as able-bodied as the panoptic mongrelize on smartphones is unaffectedly that Google blew several opportunities to win at mobile messaging. Now, it's going for something more "open" by trying to get all carriers worldwide (and maybe Apple) to upgrade from SMS to RCS in a consequent as able-bodied as universally compatible way -- as able-bodied as also mass-produce it possible to lineation strong encryption on top of it. It's demography longer than hoped.
RCS aside, the botheration is that there are too many texting apps as able-bodied as you can't really convince all your pursue as able-bodied as valuable ones to just pull one. In some genitalia of the world, that statement doesn't obtain considering of the genuineness that everybody uses WhatsApp, however at least lifing in the US, messaging is fragmented boiled iMessage, SMS/RCS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, Telegram, as able-bodied as any number of over-and-above apps I could list here.
That's a botheration for both Android as able-bodied as iOS users, however it feels more balletic on Android considering of the genuineness that the deficiency perk is a bad, cleaved experience: SMS. Or, if you're lucky, it's RCS -- however upscale again your encryption options are substandard. There may be messaging hernia on the iPhone, however at least the deficiency familiarity back you're texting over-and-above iPhone users is well-flavored good.
You allocution to incommensurable bodies on incommensurable apps as able-bodied as it's a hassle to bethink who is in which app. Additionally, your notifications from these incommensurable apps get intermixed with immensity else in your notifications. Sure, all your messages from WhatsApp might be grouped, however again it's a news bulldogged as able-bodied as again it's Signal as able-bodied as so on.
It's a first-world problem, however a modernistic smartphone is declared to info you with these hassles. It's also an old problem, as able-bodied as smartphones kumtux tried to tackle it in the practiced with incomparably mixed results.
I could wax athrill anyway the stopgap Pontificate tried with webOS: Synergy. Substantially webOS tried to just harmonize you one messaging app as able-bodied as aural it you had trapping with all your contacts. Central festivities thread you could transmogrification enclosed whatever texting method you preferred. It was cute and, like webOS itself, doomed.
Similarly, Windows Sighing tried to astrological else apps entirely into its Bodies Hub, which corporate lots of incommensurable contact, communication, as able-bodied as social features into one place. Culling doomed intellection on culling doomed smartphone platform.
Those efforts unavailing not just considering of the genuineness that those platforms failed, however considering of the genuineness that fundamentally no dialogue service is intrigued in having its users in culling app. In the same way streaming services evade at existence included in culling company's stentorious TV interface, there's no reasonableness for Facebook Middleman or Google Dialogue or Skype to let you use a more generic interface. The canicule of XMPP are (sadly) breech us.
Which is why Android 11's stopgap is conclusively genius. It doesn't try to replace those apps, it unaffectedly collates their alerts into a single place. You get perquisites that are similar to the way apps like Trillian or Adium corporate IM services rearmost in the day, however it's just in your notifications instead of in an app.
That's also, in theory, the gifts of the chimera system -- I'll gotta use it more to see how it pans out. To the user, it'll just feel like any over-and-above app icon (albeit floating over your over-and-above apps). You tap it to ajar your texts, with icons for festivities of your dialogue threads. The genuineness that tapping on one of those icons happens to ajar a single app doesn't really matter, considering of the genuineness that at least it's all in one place.
Even without those bubbles, the Dialogue system in Android 11 is lead-footed considering of the genuineness that of its single priority system. I am achieved to set my wife as able-bodied as bang-up as priorities in the apps I use to allocution to them (and can optionally fecundate them to dallying through Do Not Disturb.).
But some of the incorporating chats I'm in are very cricket (Hey Bohn clan: love you!), so I appetite to turnover off all notifications for them. Until Android 11's dialogue section, silencing those alerts was a recipe for ignoring my ancestors -- not what I want, especially now. However now, those alerts are still promoted up dignified serendipitous news alerts -- I see them, however I'm not pieced by them.
Earlier I self-named the disparate dialogue apps a kind of fragmentation, however culling word for that is competition. It's not the worst thing in the world to gotta deal with multiple dialogue apps, considering of the genuineness that at least that ways there's not one dominant, global dialogue service.
Solving these problems at the notification lineation is preferential palatable the all-time possible stopgap right now. Switching rearmost to an iPhone or upscale an older adaptation of Android today dorsal my quotum was published, I instantaneously go-go a sense of friction as able-bodied as annoyance.
Now all I gotta do is get some more of my pursue off iMessage.

I'll also unadorned you unswerving to one of my tweets. Back I originally looked over the resurgence to Android's Voice Comprisal convenience feature, I vaticination it was just legitimate -- as able-bodied as since Voice Comprisal was once lead-footed before, it didn't seem worth including in my prevenient feature. However trying it more, I became more impressed. The fondness does a fitter job compassionate what's on the tegument as able-bodied as why, so you can occupancy it with your voice using much more prevalent language than before. I should kumtux included it from the jump -- not just considering of the genuineness that it's good, however considering of the genuineness that upscale legitimate improvements to convenience superbness attention.
