Android has added a new feature called Pause Point which is aimed at helping people fight doom-scrolling.
This works by requiring a 10-second pause after you open an app that you've labelled as distracting – giving you a chance at choice.
A new Android feature could be the best in years when it comes to helping you fight doom-scrolling. While this shows just how bad doom-scrolling has become – that Google itself is adding features to protect you – it also shows there is hope in the fight to hold onto our attention spans.
