Android is set to introduce a battery health indicator, which will enable users to monitor the condition of their device’s battery. This feature is expected to be available in future updates of Android 14.
What benefit does it offer to be aware of the battery’s health status?
Knowing the mobile battery’s health is crucial for ensuring a smartphone’s longevity and receiving necessary OS updates, especially for devices like Google Pixels that are supported for up to 7 years.
Android gathers battery-related data in the background, but currently lacks a built-in indicator to alert users about the need for a battery replacement.
Google is currently developing a new feature to monitor battery health.
Google is developing a new capability to monitor the battery deterioration of Android devices, but users currently cannot access this information on Android 14.
The most recent update of the Settings Services app includes a section titled “battery health,” but it does not provide the current condition of the battery. Instead, it simply notifies users that batteries degrade over time and last fewer hours between charges.
Introduction and release date
The battery health status feature for Android devices is expected to be introduced with the launch of Android 15, with Google Pixel phones being the first to receive the update, as reported by AndroidAuthority.
