  • Google is extending the School time feature to more device types.
  • The feature debuted with the Fitbit Ace LTE earlier this year, and will make it to Android phones, tablets, and Galaxy smartwatches over the next year.
  • Google is also introducing new supervision features for YouTube, which will roll out with an update later this summer.

Google announced a new School time feature with the Fitbit Ace LTE earlier this year to help students focus on learning during school hours. The company now plans to bring the feature to more devices, including Android phones, tablets, and Samsung’s Galaxy Watch lineup.

For the unaware, the School time feature switches the device to a new home screen with limited functionality in order to avoid distractions during classes. The feature works a bit like focus mode on Android and prevents kids from using non-essential apps.
