Draft edit
I am going to post this here to have a discussion so the changes quit being reverted. If you have any disputes please reply to them on here before reverting.
| What it was | Changed to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Android 11 will have almost 100 new features for Android devices. | Android 11 will have almost 99 new features. | "For Android devices" is redundant as this whole page is about Android 11. "100" to "99" was changed by someone else. |
| New platform features included in Android 11 include... | New platform features in Android 11 include... | First "included" is redundant and doesn't need to be there. |
| === Here are some more Features: === | removed the entire heading | Doesn't add anything to the article, it's not needed. |
| Android Trashcan | Android Trash Can | changed instances of "trashcan" to "trash can/trash" as that's what Google refers to it as. |
| in a period of time. The Time period will be 30 days. | before 30 days. | Fixed broken English. Mine's not perfect, so feel free to change it further. |
| The new Trashcan will be a folder and will be called .$Trash$ | removed this | Perhaps I shouldn't have, but this seems like pointless unneeded information. If added back, it could be better worded. Every OS works with a file system so calling it a "folder" is redundant. |
| With Android 11 you will have no choice more the apps you downloaded from the Playstore will auto update all apps who have a newer Version available. | Devices launching with Android 11 will require to support seamless updates with A/B partitions. This means system updates can be downloaded and installed in the background while the device is being used, making updating your Android phone a very quick and easy process with minimal downtime. This also allows a copy of the OS image to remain untouched on one of the partitions, just in case something goes wrong during the update process, your phone can revert back to the previous state. | The original was completely false. Seamless updates has nothing to do with application updates, Play Store, or forcing updates. Please read this article on Android.com that explains what seamless updates means. |
| Assistent | Assistant | Fixed all the misspellings of Assistant in the article. |
| Messages[1] and a lot of different apps will provide android Bubbles. You can move these Bubbles on the screen around and you can access like this the app easier. | Bubbles are built into the Notification system. They float on top of other app content and follow the user wherever they go. Bubbles can be expanded to reveal app functionality and information, and can be collapsed when not being used. When the device is locked or the always-on-display is active, bubbles appear just as a notification normally would. Bubbles is similar to Facebook Messenger Chat Heads, but is system-wide. Apps will need to update to support the Bubbles API. Bubbles are an opt-out feature. |
Better explained what Bubbles were by using the explanation on developer.android.com as well as fixed a bunch of broken English. I removed the citation for Google Messages as I felt it was a very strange thing to randomly add. Again, maybe I shouldn't have, so feel free to add it back again with better wording. |
Android R edit
@50.201.195.170 and 73.0.228.80: I'm creating this section to discuss the comment in the lede – introduced by Special:Diff/941683388 and Special:Diff/942029385 – that states:
<!--Please DO NOT add any form of the name "Android R" as an alternate name for this version of Android. GOOGLE NO LONGER USES LETTERS OR CODENAMES AS PUBLIC BRANDING FOR ANDROID-->
In the Android 10 article, "Android Q" is not used. From Android 10 § History:
On August 22, 2019, it was announced that Android Q would be branded solely as "Android 10", with no codename. Google ended the practice of giving major releases titles based on desserts, arguing that this was not inclusive to international users (due either to the aforementioned foods not being internationally known, or being difficult to pronounce in some languages). Android VP of engineering Dave Burke did reveal during a podcast that, in addition, most desserts beginning with the letter Q were exotic, and that he personally would have chosen queen cake. He also noted that there were references to "qt"—an abbreviation of quince tart—within internal files and build systems relating to the release.[2][3][4][5][6]
In the Android version history article, "Android Q" and "Android R" are not used. From Android version history § Overview:
The project manager, Ryan Gibson, conceived using a confectionery-themed naming scheme for public releases, starting with Android 1.5 Cupcake. Google announced in August 2019 they were ending the confectionery theming scheme to use numerical ordering for future versions.[7] The first release under the numerical order format was Android 10, which was released the following month[when?].

- It's just an internal codename. It doesn't need to be in the article because it's not the common name or one of the common names. The only reason why it was mentioned earlier is probably because rumors had been referring to Android 10 as Q because there wasn't yet a dessert-based name available for it, and once they announced that they were 86ing the dessert-based names, use of "Android Q" continuously decreased. Apple has internal code names for macOS releases, like Mojave was codenamed "Liberty", but these aren't included in the articles. So I think it's really not necessary to add "Android R" to the article. Herbfur (talk) 02:05, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
