Google Keyboard for Android will soon include some adjustments to improve the conditions of the phone's battery. It seems that in the next update users will be provided with a special power saving mode.
Energy saving also reaches the Google keyboard
The battery life of smartphones is one of the biggest headaches for users. If we carry the phone from one place to another for hours and with intensive use, it is very likely that we will have to go through the socket before the end of the day.
There are many applications that contribute to energy consumption, and some consume it excessively. That's why developers are starting to include more and more saving options, and even launch lighter versions (such as Facebook Lite).
Now it's the turn of the Google keyboard. The company is testing several new features, but it looks like power saving will be coming soon, possibly in the next update.
A power saving option in Google Keyboard
In the next updates of the Google keyboard we will have available a function to reduce battery consumption.
To reduce battery consumption of the app, the keyboard can be used in a dark theme (instead of white). At the same time, some resource-intensive functions will be disabled, although it has not been specified which functions they will be.
In addition to the dark theme, Google Keyboard may choose to automatically reduce brightness or disable key vibration and some animation effects.
The energy saving mode in the Google keyboard can be activated and deactivated manually according to our needs.
Another option that will be coming soon to the application is the possibility to save certain stickers as favorites, in order to access them more quickly.
Other options to save mobile battery
From the Settings menu of your Android phone, you can activate the general power saving mode. With this option, background data consumption is reduced, many graphical effects are disabled, and screen brightness is reduced.
Many smartphones also have a phone manager or optimizer from which you can close applications and processes that are using a lot of energy at a certain time.
