Since Google released the Android 14 Beta 3, two days before yesterday, we have been informed that several upbringing was in the carry bag of the beta update, which includes lock-screen shortcuts, Emoji Wallpapers, a new charging indicator, and several other exciting, revised features. Also, a feature that just might extend the battery life of an Android phone is the Battery Saver feature is enabled with the Android 14 Beta 3.
Turn on Battery Saver to Android 14 Beta 3
To turn on Battery Saver, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Saver and toggle on the feature. The first thing you’ll notice is that the phone goes into Dark mode in order to save you some battery life. It also limits or stops some apps from running in the background to lower the phone’s energy consumption. But this isn’t anything new.
The new Battery Saver feature now in Android 14 Beta 3 is dimming the wallpaper. This used to require you to enable the Extreme Battery Saver or use Bedtime mode on Digital Wellbeing to get the wallpaper to dim. After Battery Saver on, complaints about recent Pixel handsets has been the disappointing battery life on the Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro despite having a large capacity 5,000mAh battery.
When the wallpaper gets dim, it also sets up a higher contrast with a dark background and bright app icons. That makes it easier to spot certain apps on the home screen and looks pretty cool, especially at night.
Also, on Android 14 Beta 3 is that the Extreme Battery Saver no longer has a separate listing and is now part of the Battery Saver page. With Extreme Battery Saver, even more features are turned off and only essential apps and apps you add to the essential list can be used.
To turn on this feature, go to Settings > Battery > Battery Saver and tap the button next to the Extreme Battery Saver option.
