Android 11 wish list: 10 things we’d love to see in the full release [Video]

The Android 11 Developer Preview phase may have started, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t already got a growing wish list of features that we want to see in the full build.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen Google listen to feedback and community input to add some highly anticipated options to the mobile OS. We’re at a point now where complete wholesale changes are not really that necessary.

It’s still a game of tweaks and improvements as, naturally, Android feels so much more robust and complete than at any other time, thanks to constant improvements and enhancements. That has made it harder and harder to see just what needs to be added, rather than what we would like to be added to our favorite mobile OS.

One thing is clear, though: There are a ton of features that already exist on other third-party versions of Android that still need to come to the “stock” implementation or core build. The first Android 11 Developer Preview gave us a glimpse of some, but we’re expecting more as they rack up.

With more expected and undoubtedly some unexpected features coming within these developer-focused updates, we’re still hoping to see some additions from our Android 11 wish list prior to the full release later this year.
