We’re at a point where batteries aren’t getting much bigger and mobile processors aren’t significantly more efficient. Most people will probably get a maximum of two days of usage time with their smartphones. No matter how expensive the device was. So Google has to start with the software in order to improve battery life and give the user more options.
Android 13 is certainly not a new milestone in this area. But there should be further innovations for the software so that it works more efficiently for the user when it comes to battery life. Enough of the introduction. Google is just announcing that Android 13 will have a new system notification . This informs about “excessive battery consumption in the background”, according to the details.
Android 13 lets you know when apps running in the background are draining your battery too much
Google provides the following information for app developers:
If the system detects high battery usage of your app while the app is displaying a notification associated with a foreground service, the system will wait until the user dismisses the notification or the foreground service is terminated and only displays the notification when.” Your app continues to consume a large portion of the device battery.
Of course, Google puts the developers under pressure to a certain extent. It shouldn’t be in the user’s interest for apps to have such a negative focus. This gives reason to hope that app developers will work even harder to ensure that their own applications work more efficiently and thus drain the battery as little as possible.
