Android 11 comes with a lot of new features and UI improvements to smartphones. The quick settings menu has been changed a lot and there is one feature that everyone is talking about is the separate media controls in quick settings. This makes the notification shade a bit clean by shifting the media controls to the quick setting toggles.
