Android 15 may be able to make your phone’s screen go even dimmer than usual.

If I were them I'd call the feature Dimmerer.

I used an app called Twilight for years to dim the screen further than allowed and add the red tint at night. Worked a treat.

Wouldn't it be better for our digital wellbeing to have an option that makes it unpleasant to use the phone in bed? 😬

I'm on Android 13 and already have this feature?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Read the article before commenting. It's not the same feature..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's effectively the same thing. This just does it automatically instead of the user having to toggle the feature on and off.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

If it's different then it's not the same. Certainly nowhere near enough to claim that it already exists on a device running Android 13 or 14 (it doesn't).

Mines doesn't go dim enough. It's still glowing, compared to a blue light eye app I used.
