Google is adding a feature on Pixel phones that lets you limit the battery charge to 80%, but it was never in the first Android 15 release.

    They should just be doing this opaquely anyways. Make “80%” the new 100%, and hide all the complexities/choices from the user. Even better – IF you really want, allow people to disable it for “Overcharge”, and bill it as a feature that gives you more battery for when you need maximum charge!

    Aha, thanks for posting this, was a bit dismayed that I didn’t see that in the release. Now I see it was a misunderstanding so will wait until December to be disappointed. Well, no, I’m disappointed that I’ve been able to do this on my thinkpad for years and have had to fiddle with awkward compromises like accubattery if I want to reduce wear on my phone battery.

    Anyone happen to know which release the audio sharing feature is scheduled for? Missed that one too.
