New Feature in Android 15 Beta 3: 'Adaptive Timeout' Display Option Added

Tech & AI | June 19, 2024, 2:24 p.m.

Android 15 Beta 3 introduces the "Adaptive timeout" toggle to Pixel Display Settings, offering a new level of screen timeout control beyond the current options. This feature, when enabled with a screen lock, automatically locks your phone after a set period of inactivity for added security. Additionally, the "Screen attention" toggle uses the front-facing camera to detect if you're looking at the screen to prevent premature locking based on your timeout preferences. While the new "Adaptive timeout" option shows promise, it is currently non-functional in Android 15 Beta 3, with devices still following the traditional screen timeout settings. Despite this, the update brings various quality of life improvements, adding to the overall user experience. Check out the latest additions in the preview release and stay tuned for further updates on Android 15.
