Six built-in Android tools — not third-party apps — can automate common phone tasks, from battery management to bedtime settings, according to the latest feature roundup.
Adaptive Battery learns which apps you use most and limits background resources for neglected ones, while location-based Rules can switch sound profiles automatically at home or work.
Chrome’s Inactive Tabs moves pages unused for 7 to 21 days into a separate section, then closes them after 3 months if you still do nothing.
Scheduled Focus Mode and Bedtime Mode automate distraction control by pausing apps, muting notifications, enabling Do Not Disturb and even switching the screen to grayscale at night.
Live Caption rounds out the list by generating on-device real-time subtitles for videos, calls and voice messages, underscoring Android’s push toward low-effort, built-in automation.
