Android 7.1.2 update shows warning for apps that use too much battery

Google has released Android 7.1.2 for the Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X. Among other things, the update should fix problems with the Bluetooth connection of Pixel phones. Many users experience problems with this.

In addition, the phones will receive a system with which the device warns if a single app demands too much from the battery, according to the changelog. Google has taken over this function from manufacturer Huawei, which has had a warning system in its software for several years now for apps that consume a lot of power. The Pixel and Nexus phones with Android 7.1.2 will notify the user if an app uses too much battery in the background.

In addition, the update for the Nexus phones should bring more stable connections and improvements in the system to swipe the fingerprint scanner to pull down the notification bar. In addition, the update also includes a boot screen that says ‘Powered By Android’, something that has been on Android phones from manufacturers such as Samsung and LG for some time.

The update is delivered to devices over the air, although users can also manually flash the update file or put an entire system image on their device. In addition to this stable version of Android Nougat, Google recently also released a first test version of its successor Android O.
