Android 11: Discover the new design of the lock screen media player
As we can see in the screenshot above, the media player displayed on the locked screen is more complete than, for example, that of Android 10. The player not only allows you to pause a title (as in stable versions of Android), but also switch between audio outputs.
Concretely, Google now allows users to switch from their Chromecast to their Bluetooth speakers and the phone’s integrated speakers in a few clicks. To do this, simply press the round icon in the right corner of the notification window.
It should also be noted that Google has revised the design of this media player Compared to the beta versions of Android 11 reserved for developers. Android 11 now displays the album streamed on Spotify, Apple Music or Deezer in a small rectangle with rounded edges. What do you think of the changes Google has made? Do you like this new, more complete media player? We’re looking forward to your feedback in the comments.
