To help users curb their mobile usage and prevent screen addiction, Google has been adding new features and apps to improve Digital Wellbeing. Earlier last year, we had reported that a new Digital Wellbeing feature called Heads Up was in the works. Now, the Mountain View giant has started rolling out the new ‘Heads Up’ mode to Pixel users.
The Heads Up mode (not to be confused with the Heads-Up Notification on Android) was first spotted by folks at 9to5Google in November last year. It is a Digital Wellbeing feature that prevents users from staring at their phones while walking on the streets.
