> In Android 11, conversations across messaging apps will be moved to a dedicated space I really hope this is optional or highly configurable, I don't want work conversations to start mixing with personal ones :/ EDIT: Ah, it's clearer on the main release page this is for notifications only [0] https://www.android.com/android-11/#a11-conversation-article https://www.android.com/android-11/#a11-conversation-article

It sounds like that social hub windows phone had. I hated it because it worked by pretending all apps had the same features, so it was like the lowest common denominator

  I loved the hubs features. It felt like I can get an overview of all my data instead of bits and pieces buried in isolated silos. The individual apps were still available if it was one's preference. Too bad the hubs were neglected and eventually neutered by WP8 and WP8.1. If they had gone the other direction we may have had a completely different mobile paradigm than just a bunch of apps. I suspect the major services would have been even more opposed to that, if that's even possible.

The next phrase in the sentence you quote from seems important: "in the notifications section". That sounds like the notifications will be grouped, not the conversations (so like, messaging at the top instead of mixed with everything or something like that).

  yeah, it just splits your notifications into two sections, one for conversations and one for other notifications. i think any notification that supports replying from the notification is counted as a conversation. https://9to5google.com/2020/02/19/android-11-notification-conversation-section/ https://9to5google.com/2020/02/19/android-11-notification-co...
