How to use Android 11 New media controls on any Android device – Guide
Android 11 is coming soon, and many of you are looking forward to trying out all the new features. However, you might have to wait a while for the update to arrive on your device, and even then, there’s a good chance you won’t be able to try all the new features. Fortunately, some third-party apps have already started releasing some of these. Nova Launcher developers recently added new adaptive icon shapes inspired by Android 11 to the app, so you can customize your device to look like it’s running Android 11 before the official release. Likewise, a notification panel customization app called Power Shade has now introduced a new feature which brings Android 11’s new media control UI to any Android device. ..
How to Use Android 11’s New Media Controls on Any Android
Install Power Shade
Trey Dev’s Power Shade app will provide the new Quick Settings media controls. It’s an amazing app – there’s really no reason why you shouldn’t install it already. But if you don’t, you can find it by opening the link below on your smartphone. ..
Activate the accessibility service
If you have an accessibility issue with your device, open the app and select “Power Shade” from the “System Settings” menu. Enable the toggle on the next screen and tap “Allow.”
Activate the notification service
To return to the Power Shade app, touch the back button. Now tap on the “Notification” button and you will be taken to a different system settings screen. Here, enable the option next to “Power Shade” and press “Allow” at the prompt. Again, touch the back button to return to the application. ..
Make sure Media Player Integration is enabled
Extra: In the app’s main menu, scroll down until you see the option “Integrate media players in quick settings.” Enable it and then disable the “Running” option on the main screen of the app to enable the change.
try the new Feature
Now open your favorite music app and play a song. Swipe down once on the status bar to see a mini version of quick settings. Below right are the new media controls. In this thumbnail view, you can play, pause and skip tracks, and you can tap the media control UI to open your music app. In the upper right corner of the controls you will see a new button (probably labeled as “Phone Speakers”) that lets you choose a new device to stream music. Swipe down the status bar a second time to reveal the expanded view, which retains the same controls as the mini version but adds likes and dislikes buttons (if your music app has them) and a progress bar that you can use to scroll through the music.
