Did you know Google’s Latest Update Features an Automatic Time Zone Option for Travelers
Traveling to a new destination means getting acclimatized to a new time zone.
Today,
smartphones don’t have the innate ability to adjust the time zone where
you’re present automatically. Yes, you can manually change the
settings, but it would be great if everything adjusted automatically.
Thankfully,
Google is rolling out a new update for Android users and it’s safe to
say that most travelers will love it! Now, you can get off your next
flight and be mindful of the latest time zone you’re in. This means no
more finding wi-fi or getting location data from your device’s mobile
network.
The
feature for Android 16 manages to do just that and the data comes to us
thanks to some digging and reverse engineering from AndroidAuthority.
The information pops up across the Automatic time zone option for Data
and Time inside the phone’s settings.
It’s worse if you don’t
have access to paid wi-fi connections inside your device. Somewhere
along the way, your device picked up another connectivity and it just
changed your phone’s time without informing you. That can be a sticky
situation.
Through the latest system, you can say hello to phone
calls made automatically with alerts that tell the time zone changing
and which time zone you might be in. It’s something very small but
potentially can help a lot. We certainly look forward to the innovative
feature and feel you should too. Nothing can be worse than being hours
behind schedule, thanks to your device. What do you think?
