Google flips the switch on Android 11's automation switches, check out the new interface
Google will use the Android 11 release to introduce a new set of switches that will pop up upon long-pressing the power button, after launching its wallet-style set there that lets you quickly access your Pay cards and passes.
We first heard about this thanks to Mishaal Rahman from XDA-Devs who tipped us on the work of developer Kieron Quinn who in his turn managed to flash an Android 11 preview, then tap into the respective APIs to switch on the switches themselves.
Now, however, the home automation and IoT toggle set turns out to be live for anyone who is rocking the latest Android 11 dev preview version, and the feature can liven up your power menu as soon as you install the newest Google Home app version. Here’s how the automation toggles will look like when Android 11 lands on your handset.
