Android 11 is the eleventh major release and 18th version of Android, the mobile operating system developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by Google.[4] It was released on September 8, 2020.[5][6] The first phone launched in Europe with Android 11 was the Vivo X51 5G[7] and after its full stable release, the first phone in the world which came with Android 11 was Google Pixel 5.[8][9]

Since Android 11, apps can no longer access files in any other app's directory within storage (likewise to "Android/Data").[10]

As of February 2024, 16.57% of all Android smartphones & tablets still run Android 11, making it the third most common version.[11]
