AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only
Google has introduced a new Android feature called Pause Point, aimed at curbing addictive scrolling behaviour. The feature forces users to wait before they can open distracting apps, acting as a deliberate interruption to habitual phone use.
By inserting a required pause, Pause Point targets the automatic, endless scrolling that many users experience. The move reflects a growing effort by technology companies to address digital wellbeing and reduce screen time through built-in software interventions.
