Google has apparently added “bypass” charging to Pixel smartphones with the latest update. Here’s what that means for the battery.

This new ability, as spotted by Android Authority, allows supported Pixel phones to stop charging the battery when it hits 80%, but continue to use power from a plug to power the phone. At least, that’s what seems to be happening based on tests

You’re welcome

And only confirmed on pixel 8 but likely to work for the 8 and 9 series phones. I should know better than to have gotten excited for an update to my 6a.

Using it since the last feature drop. Works flawlessly!
