- Google is working on many innovations for Android 13.
- Now a feature has emerged that could extend your battery life.
- With a new warning system you can then keep “power guzzlers” under control.
A chronically empty battery can have many reasons for smartphones. Against one of them Google with Android 13 release a new warning system. This should enable users to better recognize and restrict particularly “power-hungry” apps.
The function was released last week together with the second developer version under the name “Battery Resource Utilization”. how 9to5Google reports, this is a notification system that logs the power consumption of applications over a period of 24 hours.
Restrict power-hungry apps via notifications
If an app turns out to be exceptionally energy-hungry in the background during this interval, a notification appears. If you follow this, you will be taken directly to the battery usage settings. There you can adjust the permissions of the corresponding app.
The same applies to applications that run in the foreground – for example Music player how Spotify. If these are still displayed in the app drawer when playback is paused, they can drain the battery. If Android 13 registers that an app has been active for more than 20 hours without being used, you will be informed.
Excluded from this function are system apps and applications that need to be running continuously, such as VPN applications or wearable apps.
