As wireless headphones become less a novelty and more the preferred option for many of us, the ability to track the battery life of your Bluetooth accessories is crucial if you want to avoid running out of juice at an inopportune moment.
As such, it appears the Android Open Source Project is working on a way for the Google-powered platform to track the battery life of Bluetooth devices, according to a report from XDA Developers.
While iPhone users have been able to track the battery levels of their Bluetooth accessories since iOS 9, Android users don't have such a uniform way of tracking their peripherals' power.
Even if Google is working on this new feature, it's not a confirmation it will show up in Android's next big update. It's also still up to Bluetooth device manufacturers to ensure their products can communicate energy data using Android's API, meaning Google can only meet halfway towards a solution.
