An upcoming Pixel feature may soon help prevent your phone from overheating


Google's phones have a history of overheating and this might help users take more agency.

According to Mishaal Rahman at Android Authority, version 1.27 of the Device Health Services app on Pixels holds clues about "Adaptive Thermal." Early strings of code in the app suggest that Google's new feature will warn users if their Pixel is encroaching on those hotter temperatures so they can assist with it.
