Android 15 Developer Preview 2, released in March, seems to bring with it a new feature called Adaptive Timeout. looks. This feature is aimed to ensure the privacy of applications and data on your Android smartphone.
Some code strings have been detected for the Adaptive Timeout setting in Android 15 Developer Preview. According to the description in the string, the adaptive timeout feature will automatically turn off your screen early if you are not using your device. While the description doesn’t specify how this will work, it could use your smartphone’s advanced sensors, front cameras, or a combination of both to detect whether you’re using your phone.
It shows that this feature may not be part of the open source build of Android 15, but may be part of the Android 15 build for Google Pixel smartphones.
The adaptive timeout feature can make it difficult for others to access your phone’s data by intelligently detecting whether the user is using the phone or not and turning off the screen when not in use. Additionally, the feature can also help battery life.
