[br][br]Android Q's third beta version comes with some pretty interesting features like system-wide dark mode and live captions.[br][br]But, there is more to this update than what's on the surface and what Google announced at I/O 2019.[br][br]Case in point: Crash detection, a handy new ability the company could offer as a safety tool for people using Android Q.[br][br]What is crash detection[br][br][br]
[br][br]Just recently, XDA Developers conducted a teardown of Android Q Beta 3 and found signs of an app called Safety Hub.[br][br]The program wasn't enabled for use, but its code indicated that Google might offer a feature to detect car crashes through it.[br][br]Now, this could be a handy tool to save a life, in case one gets involved in an accident.[br][br][br]However, it's not clear how Safety Hub will detect crashes[br][br]While the code of Android Q Beta 3 revealed Safety Hub and its crash detection abilities, there is no word on how the app functions.[br][br]Specifically, it's not clear how the feature would detect and confirm a car crash.[br][br]According to XDA Developers, it might use sensors like accelerometer and microphone in conjunction to detect sudden stops and sounds associated with a crash[br][br][br]Plus, it would be a Pixel-exclusive capability[br][br]The feature, as we said, could prove handy in saving lives in the event of a major accident, but not everyone would be getting it.[br][br]The code analyzed by team XDA notes that the feature would come as an exclusive offering for Pixel phone users.[br][br]So, people using other devices might have to wait for a bit or perhaps indefinitely.[br][br]This is just one of the many Android Q perks[br][br]Having said that, it's imperative to note that this is just one of the many things Android Q will have on offer.[br][br]The upcoming mobile OS will offer support for a Face ID-like facial recognition system, enhanced privacy controls and app permission settings, reverse app updates, a built-in screen recorder, desktop mode, and iPhone-like full-screen gestures.[br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India... |
