Digital Well Being slowing Pixels

[ImTurningViolet]

Have you noticed it? I just read about it and went into settings and turned it off. I had been blaming Facebook's last update for my P2XL being laggy. As soon as I turned it off it was back to normal.
Anyone else?

I don't know how to link to the article in this post but it was in The Verge and on Reddit.

Worth a shot since I don't really ever look at it anyway.

I disabled it and I would say my 2 xl is noitceably faster.

I've never had any issues with speed so I may not notice anything but I don't use so I may just turn it off.

I use this feature but didn't notice any slowdown.

I have used DW in my P2XL since it came out and haven't noticed any issues. For fun, I turned it off yesterday and can't say I have noted any improvement. I think these reports are anecdotal evidence and not related. YMMV

It might also be more of a Pixel 3 issue.

 

[ImTurningViolet]

That say that but there are lots of people saying it affected their p2s as well, which is obviously anecdotal but doesn't make it untrue. It does run in the background constantly.

Just wanted to add that Apple denied throttling their phones for years even though people insisted it was happening.

Hmm, interesting. I use Digital Wellbeing occasionally but haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
