Google just dropped the details on the latest Feature Drop for Pixel phones earlier today. Digital Wellbeing was one of the aspects of the update, and some of the features should make their way to other phones as well. “Wind Down” was recently renamed to “Bedtime Mode” and it rolled out with Digital Wellbeing 1.0.3 beta. Google is making that more official along with some other goodies.
For those unfamiliar with Wind Down/Bedtime Mode, it’s a suite of tools/settings to help you disconnect at night. This includes Do Not Disturb (DND) for notifications and Grayscale to make the phone less appealing. Bedtime Mode can now be set to automatically come on when you plug in your phone (which many people do at bedtime).
You can choose a bedtime window for when DND will turn on when plugged in. This prevents DND from being enabled any time you plug in your phone throughout the day. Bedtime Mode also has a Quick Settings toggle now so you can easily enable/disable it if your schedule changes. Bedtime Mode is available on all devices with Digital Wellbeing and parental controls.

Next up is the Clock app, which many of us use to make sure we’re waking up on time every day. The Clock app is getting a new “Bedtime” tab with several tools for helping you get better sleep. The tab shows a preview of tomorrow’s calendar and recent bedtime activity (time on phone vs time in bed). The app will give you a reminder before bedtime and even suggest calming music from Calm, Spotify, and YouTube Music.
If you have a phone with Digital Wellbeing, the Bedtime tab can work with the previously mentioned Bedtime Mode as well. And to make waking up to an alarm less jarring, the Clock app can show a “Sunrise Alarm” with increasingly bright colors.
Lastly, Google is adding some bedtime features to Family Link. Parents can create a bedtime schedule, adjusted for certain days and weekends. One bedtime rolls around, the child’s device will automatically lock, but it will still allow calls. Google doesn’t mention it, but we assume there are reminders before bedtime approaches. The Bedtime Mode features are rolling out to Pixel phones now and the Clock features will be available later this summer.
