See can't see it, whats the sub heading? I can see (under accessibility) download services, screen readers, display, interactive controls, audio & on-screen text

If it's installed, it should just show near the bottom under settings:

Thanks for the screen shot, it's defiantly not there in that case? If I go to the app store its showing as "installed"

I've rebooted, maybe I'll message Google and ask what they think the issues is, thanks chaps!

I could be wrong, but I think the phone needs to be set to English (US) for it to work.

Mine didn't show up at first, But after a while it showed up in settings.

Try searching for wellbeing at the top of settings.

Tried that when I couldn't find it to start with, still no joy

Actually, it might not be the language thing, make sure you're signed up here: https://www.android.com/versions/pie-9-0/digital-wellbeing-beta/

And it's only for the Pixel phones too. Essential phone doesn't seem supported yet.

Couldn't find an answer in this thread - but it seems that Pie no longer gives me quick access to my Alarms - I have to use the assistant to get them now

Anyone know if there is an Alarm toggle hiding somewhere, as I saw it was in the beta?

I don't think so as my phone is set to English (United Kingdom)

As far as I can see, I can add a "clock" toggle to the quick settings to access alarms
[edit] actually, I think that's from SystemUI Tuner

If you tap the time in the notification shade then it'll take you to your alarm/clock app. I know it isn't the same as the quick icon but still easier than searching for the app icon.

Perfect! I think Oreo had the same, but you tapped the next alarm time instead, so missing that threw me (that's my excuse!).

Thanks

Yes, when I downloaded the Digital Wellbeing App from the Play Store it shows up under Settings as the 11th item, between Accessibility and Google (services). When you open there is a large circle which shows your phone usage based on what apps you are using most, shows how many unlocks and how many notifications and ways to disconnect and ways to reduce interruptions.

Update broke pixel XL Bluetooth to my car. Just keeps disconnecting then reconnecting then disconnecting etc etc

Simps · 6 Sep 2018 at 00:31

After updating my battery has gone back to crap again too. 18% left right now, 30 mins SOT and unplugged at 8:10am. Normally on about 70% at this time.

Kol · 7 Sep 2018 at 17:55

Anyone else find active edge stopped working? It's enabled, I've changed nothing except update this morning and now it's not working.

To be expected. Every other update does this.
I love having my music in the car and it's the one thing which may lead me back to iOS.

Not a fan of the sideways scrolling app switcher. And the rounded notifications don't look right either. Still, pretty minor stuff compared to the ongoing Windows 10 debacle on PC.

Rimsy · 7 Dec 2018 at 07:28

Yeah there were a few pointless changes with android 9... That being one of the bigger ones
