The existence of the APIs is a good indication that Google is working on the feature and intends to release it someday.
iPhone users have been able to track the health of their batteries thanks to the software features that Apple added a few years ago. And soon Android users could also get a similar option that tells you the battery health of their device. Android 14 is just around the corner, and Google shared details about some of its features at I/O 2023 last month.
He claimed that the charging cycle and charging status details were public, while other device information was part of the system APIs. Mishaal says he had recently bought the Pixel 7 Pro and got to know about this app, which has the battery health feature API built into it if you are using a phone with Android 14.
Having said that, he does warn that the app is only giving results that the API gathers, so it is possible that the battery health of your phone might be better or worse than what the app is showing. The app is open source and available for download from GitLab, which means regular users cannot download it from the app store. But it is good to see that battery health as an option could soon be available on Android, and it is high time that Google makes it a default Android feature so that other phone makers using Android can offer it via their different custom Android platforms.
People are hoping Android manages to offer all these details and help consumers determine the health of their device.
