Android 11’s multitasking menu lets you undo deleted apps



[ad_1]

Android 11 Developer Preview 3 just dropped today, and most of the changes Google made this time around are behind the scenes. With that said, a user-oriented update comes in the form of a refreshed recent apps menu. And a nice trick to Android 11’s new multitasking menu is the ability to undo or recover recent apps after swiping.

As you can see in the short video above, undoing a deleted app is simple. Just as you swipe up to erase it, a swipe down immediately after the initial gesture returns the task.

This only works for one task at a time. If you don’t swipe down immediately after deleting an app, you won’t be able to retrieve it.

We don’t necessarily recommend deleting your apps very often as Android does a decent job of managing this on its own. Removing them frequently will only consume more battery power, and apps will take longer to open the next time you use them.

But, for those of you who clean up your apps after they’re done with them, you’ll appreciate this subtle and intuitive addition to Android 11’s multitasking.
