 The screen recorder function lives in the Quick 
Settings tiles. You tap the Screen Record feature 
which gives you a few options before you start 
recording. 
 For example, you can choose whether or not your 
screen-taps should also be recorded and whether the 
ANDROID 11 phone should capture audio, too.

 With Android 11, that section of the drawer is now 
reserved for conversations, so the media player

Settings section.

to the Google Play Store. This allows Google to bypass 
carriers and OEMs entirely and push out updates to

 This feature is actually really cool, but it unfortunately 
only works on Pixel phones for now. 
 It’s possible Google could eventually offer the feature 
APP to other phones, but since it needs the Pixel Launcher 
SUGGESTION to work, it’s not likely to make its way to other OEMs in its current form.
