The current update is aimed at stability improvements, bug fixes and application optimizations by developers, as we are almost ready to receive the final version of the system.
The system had already reached its stability phase with the arrival of the second beta. Android 11 Beta 3 already allows apps to target the new API 30, which includes key features to debut with the new robot version through Android Studio, including notification bubbles, better home integration, and more.
For users, there are no major additions, the only one to be announced is a review of the use of location features by apps that make use of the Exposure Notifications API, developed in partnership between Apple and Google, to track the progress of the COVID-19.
Now, using the feature will not require location features to be turned on, specifically in apps intended to track the disease, relying solely on Bluetooth.
This solves some of the privacy-related issues, with Google guaranteeing that it won't be able to infer location in this way. Unfortunately, the novelty ends up being quite restricted, considering that the adoption for Android 11 should still be quite slow.
The update is gradually being made available to Pixel family users via OTA (Over the Air), with the system images already present on the Google website.
It is worth remembering, however, that installation is not recommended on your main device, as the system is still in beta. Now it's time to wait for the distribution of the final version of Android 11 and wait even longer for manufacturers to implement the system on their devices.
