Improved dark mode
The dark mode isn’t for everyone, but those who practice it love it – or they want to, at least, but in Android 10 it has a lot of problems. Secondly, on apps that do have a dark mode, some text isn’t colour-swapped, and can remain invisible – this actually happens on Google search, so you can’t see suggested results.
Firstly, negative that several apps have their own dark modes, not even all Google apps, so using your smartphone with dark mode on package often see you jumping straight from dark apps to light ones, and back again. For dark mode to be useful on Android smartphones, it needs to actually be used for most apps, instead of just an optional toggle here and there.
Extended chat ‘bubbles’
Chat ‘bubbles’ One of the new features of Android 11 was the introduction of chat ‘bubbles’, related to Facebook Messenger. The laid over the top of other apps, that let you view all your conversations over several apps all in one easy-to-access format. It’d be really useful if more apps became compatible, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, and perhaps also dating apps! Then, it’d be incredibly easy to keep on top of your different conversations over all the different apps that fill up your phone.
Not only apps are compatible though, and while some of these that you used to message people, there many only the main text app Messages, and Google Hangouts, compatible. That means if you want to have communications over various apps, for the most part, you’re still going to be using those apps.
