Not every Android software update is going to be big, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t worthwhile.
The third beta for Android 15 launched this week and it brought with it a handful of interface tweaks, but also one handy new feature for those looking to save on battery life. Without wasting any more time, here’s what you can expect from Android 15’s third beta.
Android 15 beta 3: 3 new features
The list of tweaks, , isn’t very long. But there are a couple of nice touches in there.
Easier wallpaper editing for Pixel Fold
Last year’s Google Pixel Fold was a solid first try at a foldable for Google, but nothing can ever be perfect. That’s what software updates are for, though.
To be more specific, the wallpaper editor for Pixel Fold devices has been changed in the newest Android 15 beta to let users simultaneously preview edits to the inner and outer displays. It’s not a huge change, but it’s a very welcome one.
Adaptive timeout
Originally , it appears the “adaptive timeout” feature has finally made its way to the Android 15 beta. This is a new toggle in the “Screen timeout” settings menu that claims to “automatically [turn] off your screen if you’re not using your device.” You can also just set a static timeout time like always, but this could potentially be a little more intuitive if it just shuts the display off every time you set the phone down.
Android Safe Browsing
Lastly, there appears to be a new “Android Safe Browsing” feature coming to Android. This feature purports to send website and app info to Google to make sure everything is on the up-and-up and that you’re not in any danger. This feature apparently doesn’t have any way to track your browsing activity, in case you were worried about that.
