Google came to change the battery saving settings on some phones

[- !el Catire *O*]

 

If during the last days you have found that the energy saving mode on your Android phone has been activated automatically, it has not been a virus, but it has been Google itself that has changed you, without wanting to, that configuration .

And is that some Android users noticed in recent days that his phone was doing weird things, all related to energy saving mode. When this mode is activated, the applications have stopped updating in the background, the location services have stopped working when the screen is blocked or the notifications of the apps have arrived with a certain delay.

This is because Google accidentally enabled the battery saving function remotely on some phones with the new Android Pie operating system, even activating this configuration on devices that were fully charged, so there was no sense.


 

Google Pixel team has clarified that "an internal test was extended by mistake to more users than expected." In the face of this, Google has reverted the battery saving settings to the default values for all affected users, so you should confirm if you have activated or deactivated it.

Among the devices that reportedly have been affected, are the Google Pixel, OnePlus 6, the Essential Phone and some Nokia 7+ devices. And is that both Google and Apple can remotely force updates or changes to Android and iOS devices to protect users in critical situations.

This way you already have an explanation if your Android mobile phone has been behaving in a strange way a few days ago, although luckily it seems that the problem has been solved.
