Android 11 is here and I like it.

[RILEYISMYNAME]

Android 11 doesn't add a TON of new features, but there's still enough tweaks and optimizations to make diehard Android fans happy. Let's talk about 'em!

From someone in Switzerland?  

 

Wonder when OnePlus gets their 11 update?

The person who said the Obama line, which you clarified as a meme... is located in Switzerland per his profile pic.

 

Makes no sense, bordering on idiocy, to use a meme for Obama while living in another country thousands of miles away.

 

That's all.  Wasn't a big deal but since you had me explain it...

Memes live on the internet. The internet is international. 

 

Makes no sense, bordering on idiocy, to think someone cannot use a meme about Obama while living in another country thousands of miles away.

jeez, we live in a day-and-age where people have to explain their "Thank Obama" meme to others on the internet.

Thanks Obama.

Linus I hope you read this to give you some insight as to why the chat heads thing is so great for some people. You seem to really not like it or understand what's nice about it, so I hope you read why I like it:

 

It's literally the most convenient way to talk to people. When I'm at work I'm constantly messaging my wife. I have chosen to message her on Facebook Messenger specifically because of the chat head. The chat head goes on top of ANY application, which is a big deal. I could be watching an LTT video (which I normally save for work) and I don't have to swipe up, tap the button that views your open apps, tap the messaging app, then respond. Then go back to what you're doing. It's extremely inconvenient. 

 

With a chat head, all I do is tap the bubble, respond, then tap it away. Then I can continue doing what I was doing super quickly.

I still use android 4.1

Like.... what really necessitated needing 8 more versions since then?

I get the feeling they're adding way to many numbers just to sell phones that do nothing different but seem as if the software is somehow radically new.

I have a phone with Android 9 on it. I have removed the SIM card and disabled BT, wifi, and everything else on it. Why? Because if I connect it to the internet, within 3-4 minutes, someone has managed to break into it and starts making it do horrible crap.

 

That 8 more versions is mostly for security, though with 4.1, you probably are safe since nobody cares about anything that old...

yeah they must have really screwed up android 9 then to somehow break into a phone that isn't actively using the internet and is just sitting there

I was wrong, it has Android 7 on it. Oops. My Razer Phone 2 still has 9 on it, and it's still marginally secure.

Popout videos and maps added in Oreo was nice.

Sorry but it won't unless you manually do it, in which case what are you waiting for?

Unless LG announced it afterwards.

what does that do

I could but I know there are some rare situations that would actually require such data. However those are very rare and likely 90% of all users don't need more than 2gb

good thing you did that cell data usage survey of all 7 billion people on earth otherwise you'd almost look as if you were taking a guess

It allows you to listen to music or watch videos with a miniature video in the bottom right while you are doing something else, you could also have maps open for if you are navigating for someone and responding to texts at the same time, just something that you don't know you need 'till you do.

No, but you can still get the display going in a little box.
