digital distractions

Google has introduced a feature called Pause Point in Android 17, which prompts users to take a 10-second pause before opening distracting apps like TikTok or Instagram. This feature is currently exclusive to the Pixel 11 series, with no confirmation on availability for older devices. A video on the official Android YouTube channel suggests that Pause Point may be available for "select Android 17 devices" that require users to opt in, indicating a possibility for broader access in the future.
