Hitting the Balance with Android P
May 9, 2018
Google wants to help you with digital well-being. The four amazing new features of the operating system will help you better plan your life and engage yourself in meaningful engagement.
Scoreboard in Andoid P will give you access to an array of applications that you engage and activities within a particular application.
With the App-Timer mode, your smartphone will push you when you will be close to your limit of using a particular application, after which it will become gray for the rest of the day to remind you of your goals.
If you activate the new Do not disturb "Shush" mode and keep your phone turned upside down, all notifications will be interrupted. However, only your suggested key contacts can contact you if this mode is enabled.
The rehearsal time will improve with the function "Wind Down". If your screen time before going to bed takes more than an hour of your sleep time, it is a disguised benefit. This feature will make your screen gray, which automatically discourages your mind from engaging in your phone.
If you want to try these new updates now, 'Android P Beta' is available on Google Pixel and seven other flagship devices like Nokia, Vivo, OnePlus, Mi, Sony, Oppo, Essential.
Show Me The Way

Google Maps has introduced new tabs to get your directions correctly. The "For You" tab allows users to access new places, popular places, personal recommendations and trendy places in and around your neighborhood. However, the "Your Match" tab can customize these recommendations and choose the locations (based on your activities) that suit you best. Friends can use Google Maps to vote in real time and easily schedule their Hangout destination. The combination of the camera with Maps will facilitate the search for locations. Open the camera, look at nearby places and let the screen direct you. In addition, Google adds a useful guide (fox) for fun.
