A few days ago, Google finally published the first Beta of Android 11. Normally, this beta should have been revealed during an online event.But this event was canceled at the last minute, "to allow people to focus on important discussions on racial justice in the United States".This year, the Android Beta was therefore discreetly presented, via blog posts and online videos.
In any case, thanks to this beta, we gradually discover the new features that Google intends to offer with the next version of its mobile operating system, whose stable version will be released in a few months.And among these new features, there is a basket.
Currently, when you delete a file on an Android application, this file is lost for good.But with Android 11, Google will offer a functionality inspired by computers.When the developer of an application uses this new feature on Android 11, the user will have the choice between permanently deleting a file or throwing it into the basket.If a file is thrown into the basket, it will be hidden, but it will be possible to recover it if the expiration date has not yet been exceeded.This expiration date is 30 days.

The basket is part of a series of improvements that Google offers on Android regarding memory management.As a reminder, in 2010, the Mountain View firm launched the Scope Storage functionality, which controls the way applications access the registered files on the user's device, in order to protect privacy and user data.And this year, with Android 11, Google brings a series of improvements to this mechanism.
Otherwise, as a reminder, it is now possible to test Android 11 on unpixel smartphones.During the Preview phase, it was not possible to test this new version of the mobile OS only on smartphones of the Google Pixel brand.But now that Android 11 has entered the Beta phase, other brands announce that it will be possible to test it on their models.Among the devices on which it will be possible to install the Beta of Android 11, there is the Mi 10 Pro from Xiaomi, as well as the Oppo Find X2 Pro and the OnePlus 8.
