Android 17’s new Pause Point Feature is a Pixel 11 exclusive – for now.
August 25, 2026
As reported by AndroidAuthority, just like Android’s new Rambler feature, which came to the Pixel 11 series of phones as an exclusive, Android 17’s new Pause Point feature is also an exclusive. This feature not only allows you to add a delay before opening apps you deem distracting or addictive, but you can also divert to a preferred app, set a time limit for apps, and even force yourself to pause and reflect on why you’re in a particular app before hitting a button to go back into it.
It’s unclear when and if this feature is supposed to come to other Android phones.
