Google Pixel owners can now benefit from ambient notifications thanks to free app Ambi-Turner. When activated, Ambi-Turner illuminates a portion of a smartphone display to reveal recent notifications, rather than the whole screen, potentially saving battery life.
Ambient notifications were in place on the Nexus 6 – developed by Motorola, who created the feature on its other devices under the banner Moto Display – but has been absent from the next generations of Google's devices.
Ambi-Turner brings them back, waking the device when a notification is received, when the device is taken out of a pocket, or when it's flipped face-up. Since it works automatically, there's also no need to press the home button or fingerprint scanner to view the notifications.
Ambi-Turner is available for free or you can pay 99 cents to access additional features like wave-to-wake and tilt-to-wake. Though it doesn't require root, the app only works on devices running Android 6.0 and upwards, and it's designed for stock Android. Phones running third-party skins may encounter problems.
Ambient notifications is something of a sought-after feature thanks to its battery life benefits and accessibility. Earlier this year, we wrote a guide on getting ambient notifications on Android devices. If you want a quick solution on a compatible device, don't miss Ambi-Turner.
