Google has indefinitely postponed the virtual event for the Android 11 beta launch on June 3, amid the social unrest that has spread across the United States.
Google has postponed the launch of the Android 11 beta, deciding that it is simply not the right time to push through with the virtual event.
The latest public beta for Android was supposed to make its debut at the Google I/O conference on May 12 to May 14, but the annual event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The unveiling was then moved to a livestream on June 3 titled Android 11: The Beta Launch Show, which Google said would include a Q&A portion for anyone to ask questions.
Android mobile phone owners and developers have been looking forward to the new features that will arrive with the major update, which possibly includes Scoped Storage that will limit the access that apps have to the rest of the device for improved security and storage management, and a new gesture, codenamed Columbus, that may be triggered by double-tapping the back of a Google Pixel phone.
