A new function from Google for Android phones will prevent you from using your phone while on the move

  Google is a job for those who use their cell phones when they walk on the street. Always setting your eyes on your mobile phone is not only a bad habit but a dangerous one as well.

 Google wants to keep you out of that by adding a new feature to its Digital Wellbeing app. A function that can help you separate yourself from your mobile phone.

This function called Heads Up was discovered by the Xda Developers team, who found it in the APK code for the latest version of the Digital Wellbeing app. So it's not yet available, but it gives us an idea of ​​the dynamics Google is working on.

As evidenced by the screenshots they share, this feature will alert you when using your mobile phone while walking. Yes, when you are in zombie mode, you walk while you are looking at the phone screen, the user will be reminded to focus on his path.

Of course, for this dynamic to work, it is necessary for the user to activate this function from the application. To do this, you'll need to grant a series of special permissions to record physical activity and location.

This is a feature not available at the moment, but it is expected to launch soon.
