Android 15 will show the phone's memory health

In its latest action, Google is working on a new feature that will help you know the health of your phone's memory chip.

Keeping the phone healthy is no longer limited to the battery. According to the reports, Android 15 is trying to add a new feature to allow users to see the health of their phone's storage memory. This feature is similar to the battery health display feature on some phones, except this time it shows the storage chip instead of the battery.

In this way, a new API is assigned to the operating system and displays the memory health. At the moment, there is no way to know how much storage space the phone is running out of. Therefore, this issue can become a concern for users. Like any other piece of hardware, storage chips wear out over time and eventually fail. But using the new feature of Android 15, you can find out how much memory is left.

The new feature is built on the information of the storage chip itself. Most modern phones use a form of storage called UFS. These types of memories have built-in indicators that show how much memory is being used. Android 15 will be able to access this information and show it as a percentage.

Storage Health is still under development and may not be available for all Android 15 phones. However, Google's Pixel phones are likely to be among the first to support it. Once available, users will be able to know the useful life of their phones' memory.

Maybe for most people this feature is not very important. However, it is considered a useful feature. If we notice that the health of the storage space is decreasing, we can think about upgrading our phone before it's too late, or even think about backing up the data. The ability to display the health of the storage chip can also help users buy or sell their smartphones at the right time.
