The latest update to the Android 15 Beta, version 3, introduces an exciting new feature called Adaptive Timeout. This feature aims to enhance the existing screen timeout controls by automatically turning off the screen when not in use, going beyond the current “Screen attention” toggle.

Here are some key points about the Adaptive Timeout feature in Android 15 Beta 3:

– Adaptive Timeout is designed to automatically lock the phone screen if it detects inactivity.
– It utilizes on-device hardware like the front-facing camera and proximity sensors to determine if the phone is being used.
– Early testing of the feature revealed that it was not fully functional in the initial Beta 3 release for some users.
– Despite being present in settings, enabling Adaptive Timeout did not affect standard screen timeout settings on Pixel phones.
– As Beta versions are released to test new features and address bugs, it’s normal for some features to be incomplete or non-functional initially.

While Adaptive Timeout may still be a work in progress, its addition to Android 15 Beta showcases ongoing efforts to enhance user experience. Stay tuned as Android 15 continues its beta cycle for further updates and improvements.
