Do you look at your phone while walking? And are you able to perceive your surroundings well enough? Many people have adopted this bad habit and do not take their eyes off the screens on the playground, on the tram or at a crosswalk. Which is almost equivalent to gambling with their lives. That's why Google introduced the Heads Up feature in 2021, which alerts users to this problem. And now it's also coming to Now Brief.
Now Brief is one of the most interesting AI tools of today. It will offer a morning, afternoon and evening overview, notify you of events in your calendar or inform you about the weather. And from now on, it will also emphasize that you are looking at the display more than the road while walking. According to the findings of the Android Authority server, Samsung borrowed Heads Up from Google and on the new tab in Now Brief you will receive a direct notification that you should pay attention to your walking and your surroundings, not your mobile phone.

The notification is also smart enough to calculate how much time you spent looking at your phone while traveling over the past week. And it adds a friendly tip: "For your safety, don't look at your phone too much while walking." You don't have to listen, of course, and you can ignore this card completely. But it can also be a reason to think about how much time you spend looking at a screen - and whether you're putting yourself or others at risk.

Google does not force the Heads up feature on users and does not pre-install it on Android phones. You can find it in an app called Digital Wellbeing, which displays your various digital habits and bad habits. To receive notifications about walking with your phone, you must directly activate Heads up. However, in Now Brief, this information will be displayed automatically.
