Android 11 developer preview will give you all the features that will help you make your apps more compatible, set new algorithms to protect your apps and will maintain privacy. You can try it on Google Pixel 2, 3, 3a and 4 devices. But it can be tricky because there is a possibility that it will flash your device while you install the operating system. The results will differ from device to device and will depend on which type of computer system or PC you will use to download the software.

However, you can use the Android flash tools by Google that will handle most of the steps to protect your device from flashing and will eliminate the hassle and complex steps for you. Remember that you will still have to complete a few steps on your own, such as flashing your device once again when the Android 11 is released on your phone and later you will have to go to the settings and make updates manually. Moreover this software is still unfinished so you have to make the updates at your own risk and then the relation process can drive your device to malfunctions and it can be of a huge risk to the already existing software on your device. You will probably have your data wiped from your phone if you adjust the settings in the Android Flash Tool.

Before you begin with the installation process, you must know about the terms & conditions and the licence agreement that this developer comes with and you have to accept their agreements. Click on the ‘I Accept’ button to that agreement and your phone will restart into the bootloader screen. While you are at it, do not click on the ‘Re-select Your Device’ from your phone, rather click on the ‘Re-Select Device’ from your computer. Your phone will be renamed into ‘Android’ during the process. If you do not want to lose your data, unlock the bootloader on your own otherwise Google will do it for you and will reset your phone and all your data will be lost. I want the software to be successfully installed on your device. Your phone will reboot one more time and simultaneously, on your PC or computer you will see a screen that will show you that the software has been updated successfully.
