It made the phones charge slowly at night, thus preserving the health of the battery. However, the feature wasn\u2019t quite efficient at its job. But Google seems to have learned a lot over the past seven or eight months.\u00a0 Adaptive charging is seemingly working much more efficiently on devices running Android 12.<br \/>\nAvailable on the Pixel 4, 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5, adaptive charging kicks in automatically when you plug in your phone to charge overnight. However, it has a couple of requirements. Firstly, your phone has to start charging after 9 PM. You also must set an alarm for between 5-10 AM. If you meet these requirements, your phone charges at the normal speed (supported fast charging speed) overnight till the battery reaches 80 percent. The charging speed then slows down to preserve battery health.<br \/>\nHowever, there have been many reports of the device getting fully charged several hours before the user woke up to the set alarm. The adaptive charging wasn\u2019t quite adapting to users\u2019 habits. Perhaps Google was being a bit cautious to avoid leaving the devices not charged fully when the user wakes up. Of course, waking up to a phone that isn\u2019t fully charged when you\u2019ve set it to charge overnight wouldn\u2019t be the best experience for users.<br \/>\nBut Google seems to have garnered enough usage data and feedback from users since it launched adaptive charging. The feature now reportedly works much more efficiently.<br \/>\nGoogle has significantly improved its adaptive charging feature<br \/>\nMultiple users have reported on Reddit that their Pixel devices are now reaching 100 percent battery much closer to their set alarm time than before. Specifically, the devices are getting fully charged 30 to 90 minutes before their alarms go off in the morning. They are now charging much slower after reaching the 80 percent mark.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s unclear when Google rolled out this improved adaptive charging to its compatible Pixel phones. It is working for many users on Android 12 Beta 4. But there\u2019s every possibility that it was around in earlier builds as well. People mostly don\u2019t check when their device reached 100 percent battery as long as they have 100 percent battery when they wake up. So it could easily go unnoticed.<br \/>\nNonetheless, if you have a compatible Pixel phone running on Android 12, you can check if this improved adaptive charging is available to you. Navigate to Settings &gt; Battery &gt; Battery Usage to see when your device reached 100 percent battery.<br \/>\nThe post Google&#8217;s Adaptive Charging Works Much More Efficiently On Android 12 appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/AH-OnePlus-9-KL-image-charging-1.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In December last year, Google introduced a new adaptive charging feature to its recent Pixel phones to preserve battery health.
