As in the case of Android 11, the presented version of Android Go includes new features, including for increasing the level of privacy when interacting with the gadget. For example, users will be able to give apps one-time permissions to access device sensors such as a microphone, camera, or GPS receiver. In addition, there was a function to automatically reset permissions for applications that are not used for a long time. The developers have added the Safe Folder function, which is a special protected folder that allows you to protect any files and documents from prying eyes with a PIN code. Android 11 Go also adds support for gesture navigation.

If Android 11 is currently available on a limited number of devices, then Android 11 Go will be available on all new smartphones with at least 2GB of RAM. Since the launch of the first version of Android Go in 2017, according to Google, more than 100 million devices worldwide have used the platform. Recall, when Google first launched Android Go, the company said that the goal of the project is to provide people with lower socio-economic status with access to modern technologies.

“ For billions of people to access technology, it is essential that entry-level devices become fully functional smartphones that enable web browsing and application use,” said Sagan Kamdar, then director of operations. Android products.
