The arrival of Android 11 Beta 2<\/a> isn’t just good news if you’re willing to experiment — it’s also a big step up if you listen to music<\/a> and podcasts on your phone.<\/p>\n The new developer-focused release includes revamped media controls that both look nicer and offer more functionality. Where the first Android 11 beta<\/a> included only a tiny set of controls on the first swipe of the notification shade, the second includes a much wider player that shows artist details, album art, and the audio destination. The first beta put the media controls in an awkward spot on the left, while Beta 2 expands the controls and puts them below the quick settings.<\/p>\n If you swipe down again to reveal more of your phone controls, you’ll see a slightly expanded player with more track details, the track timeline, and a “like” button. The media controls are now below the quick settings instead of above them.<\/p>\n \n Tags:<\/b> Jon Fingas<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
