Google has unveiled a new Android feature called Pause Point. Google's Pause Point is designed to help users think twice before opening apps that can be considered distracting. Instead of completely blocking access to apps, Pause Point adds a 10-second delay before the selected app opens. During this brief pause, users are encouraged to think about why they are opening the app and whether they really want to continue. For users who need stronger controls, Pause Point makes it harder to disable by requiring a full phone restart before the feature can be turned off. Google has not yet announced when Pause Point will be available to its users. Read more in our articles including "Google announces Pause Point feature" and "Smartphones Under P10,000 | Q2 2026".
