The ????? ????? ???? ???????Android 11 reveal is no longer happening on June 3.
The delay was confirmed in an overnight Friday-Saturday tweet from the mobile operating system's official account. There's no specific reason given for the change in plans, beyond a general sense of acceptance that "now is not the time to celebrate."
