Are you guilty of late-night scrolling on your phone before bed? We all know it’s a hard habit to break, but it can seriously impact the quality of your sleep. Thankfully, many smartphones now come equipped with Digital Wellbeing apps that include a “bedtime mode” feature to help combat this issue.

Google’s Digital Wellbeing app is currently leading the way in this space, allowing users to not only silence distractions but also adjust screen settings to reduce blue light exposure. And with the upcoming release of Android 15, bedtime mode is about to get even more powerful.

Android 15 will introduce the ZenDeviceEffects API, giving third-party apps the ability to alter screen settings just like Google’s Digital Wellbeing app. This opens up a world of possibilities for developers to create customized sleep routines tailored to your specific needs.

One key feature of Google’s bedtime mode is the ability to create a fixed schedule or trigger the mode when your phone starts charging past a certain time. This automatically activates “Do Not Disturb” mode while still allowing important calls and alarms to come through. Additionally, you can adjust your display settings by switching to grayscale, activating dark mode, turning off the always-on display, and dimming your wallpaper.

Third-party apps like Tasker are already experimenting with these new sleep-focused features, offering users more control over their bedtime routines. Imagine setting up a bedtime routine triggered by tapping your phone on an NFC tag – the customization options are endless!

While some features like dark mode toggle may still be in development, the overall potential of Android 15’s bedtime mode update is promising. With enhanced screen-altering capabilities and expanded access for third-party apps, users can look forward to a more personalized and effective approach to improving their sleep habits.

Stay tuned for more updates on Android 15’s bedtime mode enhancements as we eagerly await its full release!
