Digital Wellbeing beta code reveals hidden flag trivia mini-game
Android Authority found code in Digital Wellbeing beta version 1.48.975819457 that builds out a flag-guessing trivia game, complete with a three-heart life system and a high-score tracker. The outlet also noted a smaller change letting users select apps for screen-time reminders more easily, alongside earlier signs that features like walk detection may be removed in a broader app overhaul.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Adding a game to an app meant to curb screen time seems contradictory, and Android Authority itself says it's unclear how the feature fits Digital Wellbeing's mindfulness purpose. It's possible Google intends it as a brief cooldown or engagement tool rather than a distraction, but that remains speculation until Google explains or ships the feature. The discovery also suggests Google is actively reworking Digital Wellbeing rather than leaving it stagnant.
- Digital Wellbeing beta code contains an unreleased flag trivia mini-game with lives and scoring.
- The app is also simplifying how users pick apps for screen-time reminders.
- Google appears to be overhauling Digital Wellbeing, potentially removing features like walk detection while adding new ones.
