Firstly, the new app dashboard by Google will give you a bird’s eye view regarding the usage of your Android phone allowing you to see how long you use your Android phone in a day. It will also show the number of times you’ve unlocked your phone and the number of notifications you’ve received.

Second, the app timer is another new feature that will allow you to set a time limit for daily usage. Through this app, you can limit your usage over one app and set a timer according to your choice. In doing so the app will gray out on your home screen and you won’t be able to launch it.

The new wind down function by Google is the fourth new feature that blocks the blue light that might interrupt your night sleep. The wind down eliminates the blue light and turns the screen to grayscale before your bedtime.

Adaptive BatteryThe fifth feature includes so many other features like the gesture interface that allows users swipe up from the bottom of the screen to multi-task or return to the main home screen something similar to that of iPhone X.
