Google Feature to Restrict Your Android App Addiction

Google is offering a new feature which will allow you to gain some self-discipline in regards to Android app addiction. The said feature is known as Focus Mode and was announced back in May. The feature will restrict apps from distracting you during a vital piece of work. You can set a timer for the apps you do not want to be bothered with. The apps vary from person to person; it could be Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp. You can pause the apps you deem distracting for a limited time, and they will be unpaused after the time is over.

Google Feature to Restrict Your Android App Addiction

The new feature is added, keeping in mind what is known as digital health. The feature works off the Wind Down Mode, which is an element of Digital Wellbeing by Android. This will turn your screen into grayscale. You can either schedule it every night or can turn it on manually. The intent is to make the screen less tempting to watch while also working against the blue light, which allegedly is believed to disorder sleeping patterns.

Google thinks features like Focus Mode, which restricts and pauses apps are a good attempt against App Addiction. It is expected to decrease the app overuse 90% of the time. The user can choose the apps according to his choice.

The feature is available in Android 10 beta which was previously known as Android Q. You can update the software to the latest version. To use the feature, you are first required to install the Android 10 beta. Keep in mind that the beta version will have some issues as it is a beta version.
