Long journeys will be stress-free, with a battery-saving feature coming to Google Maps. Learn how it works.

Google Maps Power Saving Mode: Whenever you use Google Maps, the constant GPS running and the screen remaining on during navigation drains your phone's battery quickly. Keeping this problem in mind, Google may soon add a new battery-saving feature to Maps.

Google Maps Power Saving Mode: If you're asked how far it is between Mumbai and Delhi, you'll probably immediately open Google Maps on your phone and search. This is because Google Maps is the most widely used navigation app worldwide. It's extremely user-friendly. Meanwhile, a report from Android Authority has drawn attention, stating that a new power-saving mode may soon be available in Google Maps.

This feature will work on Android devices. According to reports, the company is preparing to introduce a feature that will help users avoid quickly draining their phone's battery while navigating long drives or road trips. Let's explain this feature in detail.

What is Power Saving Mode?

This information was discovered when the APK file of the beta version of Google Maps was torn apart. Early traces of this new feature were found in that code. This feature is currently under development.

How will Power Saving Mode work?

According to reports, turning on this mode will reduce the details displayed on the screen and may slightly reduce the graphics quality. Its sole purpose will be to ensure smooth turn-by-turn navigation. Google may also include a touch button so users can easily activate this feature, and the screen can also be switched to black and white (monochrome) mode to save battery.

How does Google Maps work now?

Currently, Google Maps navigation drains your phone's battery very quickly, as it constantly runs features like GPS tracking, live updates, and an always-on screen. The new feature is expected to save at least an hour of battery life, depending on your phone usage.
