Google Maps, one of the best navigation apps, could be getting a new power-saving mode for navigation that is extremely minimalist, with the goal of conserving battery. The potential battery saver was found in the 25.44.03.824313610 beta release by Android Authority as part of their APK breakdowns.
As a reminder, APK teardowns can find code that hints at a software feature. However, that doesn't mean the tool won't change between now and release or launch at all.
According to Android Authority, the latest beta release contains a few strings of code with some portions labeled "Power saving mode." According to the code, this mode can be activated by pressing the power button while the vehicle is in motion.
Apparently, this mode is separate from your phone's normal battery saver mode.
