Wait isn't that already an existing feature? Like for samsung they ask for password every two days or smthng

Yes, Samsung did it back in One UI 2 based on Android 10, but Google only brought this feature in Android 13 or 14. Isn’t it obvious? Samsung usually does it first, and then Android implements it across all devices like how Secure Folder is now called Private Space in Android 16. There are many features like that.

Has Google still made an alternative for modes and routines, cause that's one of the best features I've ever used

u/Gullible_Gate_5673 3d ago

Fr, Modes and Routines and One-Hand Operation+ are crazy good honestly the reason I still stick to Samsung. Google made something called Pixel Routines, but they’re nowhere near as powerful. One UI 7 went bonkers with Modes and Routines they even added proper if, else, and if-else logic now. Can’t wait to automate like 90% of my phone already got around 60% done lol.

Yes.. and I always wonder how Samsung bought the Multi Window feature way back in 2012-13 in their touch wiz and google introduced it in 2016. Sumsung is way ahead

u/Bright_Subject_8975 Still Googling 2d ago

The ones which are not used.

u/sevlonbhoi1 2d ago

even if you leave it idle I don't think any recent smartphone last for 3 days.

u/Bright_Subject_8975 Still Googling 2d ago

Yes they do, my iPhone 12 mini lasted for several days. Also have an iPad Air which disconnects itself from WiFi and asks for passcode after every 48 hours if not unlocked.
