- Google has launched a new feature called "Pause Point" aimed at helping users combat doomscrolling and encourage more intentional app usage.
- "Pause Point" introduces a 10-second delay before selected apps open, prompting users to reflect on their reasons for accessing the application.
- Users can choose which apps to apply the "Pause Point" feature to, and disabling it requires restarting the phone to encourage thoughtful consideration.
- The company also announced a significant update to its Chromebook line, now rebranded as the "Googlebook."
- The new "Googlebook" is presented as a "rethink" of the laptop concept, built around Google's Gemini artificial intelligence tools.
