Android 13 Bedtime Mode might be able to automatically dim your wallpaper

While we all are eager to see what Google is going to showcase during Google I/O for Android 13, glimpses of features of the next big OS upgrade for Android users are found by 9to5Google in APK code. Those glimpses suggest what features will Android 13 bring and this time, 9to5Google has found references that Digital Wellbeing will be made even more useful for those of us looking at our phones at night.

Digital Wellbeing will be able to dim wallpaper at night with Android 13

Bedtime Mode is a feature currently available with Android. Basically, it brings a lot of options to make it more comfortable for you to scroll through that 'one post' on social media (and the ten more) in bed before finally giving up and sleeping. In fact, Bedtime Mode is a part of Google's Digital Wellbeing suite of features, and you can now set a schedule to put your phone into grayscale, disable the Always-On display, and activate Do Not Disturb for your quiet evening routine.

Android 13 is going to further enhance this capability. According to code that 9to5Google found in the most recent Google Play Store update, you will get the possibility to automatically dim your phone's wallpaper.


It is not yet clear what percentage of dimming you will be able to set up with Bedtime Mode. Additionally, if your phone is not running Android 13, you might get an option to suggest you to "use a dark background".
