As you can see in the screenshots above, the feature will send you a reminder to focus on what’s around you while walking. You’ll be to access the new “Heads Up” feature from the Reduce Interruptions section under the Digital Wellbeing app settings. Once you enable the feature, you will see additional settings for managing physical activity and location permissions.
If you have a Google Pixel phone and want to try out the feature, you’ll have to join the beta program from the Play Store and download the latest beta release. The “Heads Up” feature is likely to become available on the best Android phones from other manufacturers as well in the near future. However, there’s no word on exactly when that might happen.
