Google has a new feature named Focus Mode, launched to help you with distracting applications on your Android phone. Originally talked about last May at Google’s yearly I/O conference, Focus Mode pauses very distracting apps for long as you want with a timer that prevents you from making use of them. When the timer is exhausted, the app will then be un-paused. In this article, we explore a comprehensive tutorial on how to use Google’s focus mode.
Google thinks app timers, like the ones Focus Mode comes with, aid users to not continue using apps excessively. You can select which applications you would want to pause. It is best to use it with those applications that always disturb you with notifications. However, you are allowed to keep some messaging apps open for emergencies.
