Quote:Google has primarily focused on conversations and privacy with Android 11. The OS comes with a number of small but important features and changes that focus on improving privacy and protecting user data from malicious apps and games. Android has never really been known for focusing on privacy but starting with Android 10 last year and now with Android 11, Google is really focusing on this aspect of the OS.
While Android 11 is yet to make its way to almost all major Android smartphones out there, you can still check out the top privacy-oriented features of the OS below which you will get to utilize once the update finally lands for your device. Also, make sure to check out some of the top Android 11 features here.
One-time permissions
There's no need to grant an app permanent access to your location, microphone, or camera. Instead, you can now only grant temporary one-time access to apps for these permissions. So, the next time you open an app that you use sparingly, there's no need to grant it permanent access to your location or camera, a one-time access will work just fine.
Auto-reset permissions
If you don't use an app for a long time, Android 11 will automatically reset the sensitive permissions given to it. This means if you grant an app access to your location or microphone but then don't use it for the next few weeks, Google will revoke the permissions from the app. This way, you can rest assured knowing that any app you have on your device will not be silently tracking your location or recording your voice in the background.
