Google is preparing to retire Android's "Heads Up" safety feature, signaling the end for the built-in tool designed to prevent distracted walking. The utility, which sits within the platform's broader Digital Wellbeing suite, will soon join the company's extensive list of discontinued services.
Originally launched to encourage users to pay attention to their surroundings, Heads Up periodically reminds pedestrians to look up from their screens while on the move. Despite its safety-first approach, recent reports indicate that Google has established an end date for the feature.
While Google frequently adjusts its software ecosystem to streamline features, the exact schedule and transition plans outline how the phase-out will take place on supported devices.
