Google is doing several tests to try and slow down the phone. This is a point that comes with its Digital Wellbeing, a tool that is integrated into a good portion of Android phones, and that allows control the time we spend with them.
We will talk to you about the app that is part of this experiment with Digital Wellbeing, and whether we have found it interesting. It's about wallpaper that will let you know the functionality of your phone. The more you use it, the bigger your screen will become.
Controls the work with bubbles
As a general rule, we control the usage of the device either during screen hours of the battery part, or by digital Wellness usage graphs. However, Google proposes a quick and curious solution (though not necessarily). It's about an application that feeds us an animation page.
Each time we turn on the phone, a bubble is inserted. The goal, if we want to reduce its use, is to end the day with a small number of bubbles
What is so special? The layer consists of two objects (or hundreds, depending on how you look): the black background and the bubbles that fill it as we use the phone. Each time you turn on the phone, a bubble will be added. The background is noticeable, with fluid movements of exactly the same bubbles and well-trimmed images.
The thing doesn't end here, either lions of all sizes. The further you use the phone, the next big bubble is inserted. That is, each bubble represents the time you spent with the phone on previous unlocks.
The goal is, at the end of the day, to have a small amount of bubbles, not a full screen of them. If your screen is full of bubbles, you will be able to open it more than once. If the bubbles are large, you will be able to use them longer. A different, but noticeable enough way to know if we use the phone more or less.
Google has thought about the use of force
When it comes to making wallpapers it is easy to assume that your costs are excessive, but Google has thought about this. The background is completely black, so if you have an AMOLED screen, most of the pixels will be off.
Similarly, the screen filling process is also very simple, and designed to do not drain the battery beyond the use that may have been created by the original animation, lasting for a few seconds.
- You open the phone
- The bubble falls from the sky (from the top of your app)
- A bubble is located at the bottom of your cellphone
- The bubble stays static, close to others
I mean the background is visible when you turn on the phone, but once the bubble that registers your usage is available, everything stays stationary.
Application Available on any Android phone running a version equal to or greater than 8.0 Oreo.
