Has anyone who has a Pixel 4 XL running the Android 11 Beta (as well as the Google Play Services beta) been able to activate the Nearby Sharing option yet?

I think I saw somewhere that it only works for Android 10 at the moment. My P4XL is on Android 11 and doesn't have it but my P3XL is on 10 and does have it.

I know, I keep seeing the bubble notification thing for messages is rolling out for Android 11 for a week now but I still don't have it.

Yeah, I haven't received the bubbles feature yet, either. The 2nd beta may arrive next week, too, so that's ANOTHER small upgrade I'll be waiting on pins and needles for.
On a side note, I'm actually bummed that I can't hide the navigation bar on Android 11. Apps like Instagram and Facebook drive me nuts because they look awkwardly chopped off at the bottom.
That's a small trade-off for signing up for the beta, I guess!

It's an update of the google keyboard app...it will come to 6P...it's just a matter of time...this way you can have it now. It may take days before you even see the update in the playstore.

That is very strange, I am not sure why it will do that....I know Google released an updated version yesterday, I believe, so it may have been a bug.

Pie magnification lens gone

After installing pie build 108, I noticed that Android finally installed a text selecting zoom lens like iOS. Very useful.
Now a week later, it's gone!!
Anyone have any idea how to get it back?
That was the only thing where I thought iOS was clearly better than Android.
Reflaehed... It's back.

It's a stock Android feature. So.. I fully expect Huawei to remove it

Is it working with the google camera app?
I think I will just bite the bullet and buy a pixel 3 xl. I really hate this phone.

The P20 Pro camera app works just as well. There is a variant for the Google camera app but it's nowhere near as fluid as the pro one.
I have no need for the Google one personally, besides the odd gallery blip, it's perfectly fine..

Is it possible to enable the new Google maps waze-like features on the pixel 4 XL?

I was playing golf with my nephew and he showed me that he has new features on Google maps on his Samsung S10. Basically it shows crash sites police locations ect.I googled it and can't find a way to enable manually. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

You sure you don't have it? Tap the talk bubble icon with the + inside, then you'll see all the choices to report.

I am pretty sure.
I only have 2 bubbles on the right side of the screen one to search and the other to mute/silence the navigation voice.

Make sure you are on the beta program of Google maps and you'll get it. I have it working on my P4 with the latest Google maps beta.
I have been a beta tester for a long time. This sucks lol

It's been around for a while. I believe it started with speed trap reporting in October. Try uninstalling the beta?

i know. that is why i posted a pic with navigation running
i am going to try a factory reset.
Nah, I'm not a beta tester but it still shows up
Also not on beta and I've got the goods which also as reported above only work with navigation to a destination active.
just did a factory reset and i am still out of the loop
my pull up menu doesn't say "add a report"
what a bunch of horse crap
found this in their forum
"An update question. In the state of south carolina the buttons work, but in new jersey they don't. Does google change the option based on location???"
i am in NJ ....

Nah, I'm sorry to hear that bud and I'm just happened to be a New Jerseyan like you but mine works fine!
I am giving up on this quest. I guess it boils down to "sux to be me" . Even the iPhone users have this feature. Who knew. I should have bought an iPhone for the Google experience lol.
Thanks to all that chimed in. Much appreciated.
Peace

yes i removed myself from everything i was enrolled in the beta program.
it is no biggie. i am sure it will show sooner or later.
this is a weird "rollout" of a app feature. i have been reading on the net that it comes and goes on people all the time. i will just wait till it comes my way.
i can't find a way online to "force" it to be activated.
thanks for your help i really appreciate it.
Just try leave Beta and reinstall the app and make sure you the GPS ON

Question about games not playing full screen?

I just got the Pixel 5 and I'm curious why some games are showing up full screen but most cut off the left side right under the notch? Is there a way to fix this or is it on the developer? It's odd because on my S20 Plus the same games play full screen with no issues so it seems to be a Pixel thing?
Still no solution? Got a Pixel 4a and this is exactly my problem aswell..how bad.

It's not just games. A lot of apps do that in landscape as well, like Google Maps and Telegram. There's a new Magisk module that fixes it though.
Download the module from here.
Flash it with Magisk Manager and reboot.
Go to settings > Developer Options and scroll down to "Display Cutout" and choose the Pixel 5 option.
That's it, no more black bar.

See my reply above. This mod will work for you too, but the Pixel 5 option might not work as well as the OnePlus FHD choice. Try them both to see which works best.

Wow. It is ugly and annoying. It looks like Google is not even trying to fix it. Since I just bought my Pixel 5, I only have 2 choices to fix the issue. Return the phone and get a different brand or root my new phone to fix the problem.
So much for pure Android experience.

Question Anybody On Beta-Build Get The Android Beta App With The OTA?

Good Morning, friends with Pixel 5a (5G) on beta #5 (ONLY). Does anyone have the beta-app through the Play Store that comes with the OTA? ALSO, is anyone seeing the beta notification that usually pops-up on your homescreen after reboot?!
I brought this to Google's beta-development team but haven't heard back from them to date.
Safe Journeys.
