In case you somehow missed it, wireless charging has finally returned to Google devices with the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Second is the “Wind Down” feature that lets you set a schedule for yourself and when you reach the end of your day you can have the device shift to greyscale and/or turn on Do Not Disturb. Beyond just monitoring your usage you can opt to place limitations on the time that you use your device through a few different means.įirst is literally placing a timer on your usage of individual apps at 5-minute increments, when you have one minute left you’ll receive a notification and then it will shut the app off when you reach time with the option to click “Learn more” and either add more time or disable the timer completely. This is a setting rather than a true app and allows you to view a number of statistics regarding the time you spend with your apps breaking it down to minutes used, notifications received, and times opened. It’s not a Pixel exclusive, but another feature that rolled out to the Pixel devices in late November is Digital Wellbeing, this useful little tool helps you to get a handle on your device usage. If you receive a call that seems to be spam (or you feel like irritating a friend or loved one) just tap the blue “Screen Call” button when an incoming call pops up and the caller will receive an automated message indicating that the call is being screened by Google and for them to leave their name and the purpose of the call, if they do so you will see a transcript of what the caller says and you can choose to either take the call, end the call, or use one of the canned responses to get more information. This is enabled by default so there’s nothing special you need to do to set it up, but you may be unsure of how exactly it works.
Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL owners have a new weapon in their arsenal to combat the scourge that is telemarketing and that is the “Screen Call” feature that rolled out in late November.
