![]() Google is an advertising company and this one’s a huge thumbs up from my side. Moreover, it lets you opt-out of personalized ads and you can even decide how long your search data stays on the Google server. You can manage your saved passwords, location history, activity management, ads personalization through it. But, in Android 10, it has a dedicated “Privacy” section. Previously, in Android Pie (*sweet tooth*), it was hidden somewhere deep down below in the Settings menu. Now when I receive a random message on Slack, the suggested reply is “Cool” which makes me grin every single time.Īnother small inclusion in Android 10 was Activity Management. The Pixel 3 learned about it in a couple of weeks or so. For instance, I normally respond to a Slack message with “Cool” rather than “Ok”. ![]() But, I do like its implementation in Suggested Replies. And Android 10 would be the first mobile operating system to use on-device machine learning.Īs of now, the use cases are pretty limited to the internal voice recorder, live captions that I have never bothered to use. Regardless whether it charges or not, leave it. Using the original data cable, connect your Pixel 3 to its charger. Or rather, rely on the manufacturer’s “Devices to get Android update” list. Plug your phone’s original charger to a working power source or outlet. Pixel 3 was amongst the first phone to receive Android 10 and unlike other phones, I don’t have to wait till the end of 2020. I tried reboots, uninstalling unwanted apps, clearing the cache, full system wipes, etc but no matter what the performance issues would return. Moreover, now that third-party apps have realized it, every app you install from the Play store asks you to whitelist it. So, I have literally spent months trying different methods in attempts of fixing the Pixel 3 sluggishness and stuttering issues. I do agree that you can whitelist apps from being killed in the background but it shouldn’t happen in the first place. I had to manually open the app and it was at this moment that the notifications would arrive. With these Android skins, I would never receive my Instagram and Twitter DMs. However, I do receive a lot of DMs, tags on it. The battery management was so aggressive that it would often kill useful apps in the background and thus denying the push notification.įor instance, I open Instagram and Twitter, about 2-3 times a day. ![]() Now with other Android skins like EMUI, MIUI, and OxygenOS (to some extent), I had this problem of missed notifications. The RAM and battery management are less aggressive and you will receive your push notifications. But here’s what I loved about the stock Android experience. The idea is to reduce the blue light put out by the display, which is what tends to make your eyes feel tired after you’ve looked at a screen too long.Now when I grabbed the Pixel 3 in October, I already had the Android 10 update installed. This turns the screen orangey, to cut down eyestrain and, in some people, phone-related headaches. In this area you’ll also see Night Light, a great companion for this duo. You can find it in Settings > Digital Wellbeing > Wind Down. It makes the phone screen turn monochrome at pre-set times, to act as a reminder: it is time to put down Facebook and open a book. Wind Down is much newer, and is actually part of the Digital Wellbeing garden of calm. You’ll find Do Not Disturb’s various “rules” and switches in Settings > Sound > Do Not Disturb. ![]() And, yes, you can set rules to make sure your parents or partner can still get through at any time. It stops calls and notifications from coming in at times when you’re trying to relax or go to sleep. If Digital Wellness is for people who think they might have a bit of an unhealthy relationship with their phone, features like Do not Disturb and Wind-down make sure you don’t get that far.ĭo Not Disturb is a well-established feature.
