Google is trying to improve battery life on Android 14 by dimming wallpaper with the Battery Saver feature.

and toggle on the feature. The first thing you'll notice is that the phone goes into Dark mode in order to save you some battery life. It also limits or stops some apps from running in the background to lower the phone's energy consumption. But this isn't anything new.

One new thing that the Battery Saver feature does now in Android 14 Beta 3 is dim the wallpaper. This used to require you to enable the Extreme Battery Saver or use Bedtime mode on Digital Wellbeing to get the wallpaper to dim. Now this will happen when you have the Battery Saver on.

When the wallpaper gets dim, it also sets up a higher contrast with a dark background and bright app icons. That makes it easier to spot certain apps on the home screen and looks pretty cool, especially at night.Another thing we noticed on Android 14 Beta 3 is that the Extreme Battery Saver no longer has a separate listing and is now part of the Battery Saver page.
