"Boost Your Phone's Charging Speed with Adaptive Charging Techniques"

Both Android and iOS smartphones now come with features such as Optimized Charging, Adaptive Charging, and Protect Battery that monitor daily habits and delay charging the handset up fully when it thinks the phone will be connected to power for an extended period of time. These features aim to maximize the life of the device's battery by reducing factors that accelerate battery aging, such as operating temperature and prolonged full charging. Users can enable or disable these features in the battery settings of their respective phones.

Pixel's Adaptive Charging feature now works without alarms

Google Pixel phones' Adaptive Charging feature may no longer require an alarm to optimize battery lifespan. The feature, which slows down charging to hit 100% closer to unplugging, previously required an alarm to be set between 3AM and 10AM. However, recent reports suggest that the feature is now activated based on usage patterns, without the need for an alarm. This change has not been confirmed by Google, but it could be rolling out soon.

Google Pixel introduces Adaptive Charging with battery status notification.

Google's Pixel Adaptive Charging feature, which helps preserve long-term battery life by not reaching a 100% charge until you wake up, may no longer require an alarm to work. Previously, users had to manually set an alarm for the feature to activate, but now it appears to be working automatically based on when the user starts using their device in the morning. This could allow for more flexibility for users with different sleep schedules or those who don't use their Pixel for alarms. Google has yet to update its support documentation to reflect this change.
