Google will release 3rd Android 11 developer preview in May 2020. According to Google , the first beta version of Android 11 is due to be released in May 2020, and platform stability should be achieved in June. Google has released a new developer preview of Android 11. The third pre-release now brings some new features that could make it easier for programmers.

Facebook Gaming is now available as an app

Games and streamers from Facebook can now be found in a new app, a number of simple casual games can be started immediately.

The company has released a new app called Facebook Gaming, which brings together the main gaming offerings from the social network. The app is available in the Google Play Store as a 52 MB download, a version for iOS is to follow as soon as possible.

Facebook gaming is also used to solve one of the larger problems of the network in connection with streams: It is much more difficult, especially for beginners, to find game transfers than on Twitch or Youtube Gaming.

It's different in the app, there are two main categories. On the one hand, the user can select games to follow, on the other hand streamers. The subscribed games and streamers are then displayed in the timeline, with a tap the user can then view the transmission.


In addition, there is a small offer of casual games that are also known from Facebook - i.e. implementations of solitaire, darts and the like. These titles have to be downloaded, which happens directly in the app and was usually done within a few seconds when trying them out.

If you want to stream yourself, you can do it directly from Facebook Gaming. This not only works with the games in the app, but with all applications on the smartphone - also with the main menu or the Google Play Store, if you are just looking for a game there. The stream can then be seen immediately on the personal page on Facebook, not just in gaming.

Facebook Gaming is currently free of ads, and funding is provided via so-called stars - paid stars that can be given to a streamer; Facebook receives a commission from it. According to Facebook, the app has been tried and optimized as a test market in Asia and South America in the past 18 months.
