Answer: Yes, if it’s an Android phone.

Google has revealed a new feature for its Android smartphone operating system, and it’s designed to prevent that embarrassing situation where you trip or run into something while walking because you were too busy looking at your phone.

Appropriately named “Heads Up,” the feature will actively remind you to not look at your phone if it senses that you’ve taken it out while you’re walking. It’s the latest addition to Google’s Digital Wellbeing suite of tools, which aims to help users improve their digital well-being by showing them things like how often they check their phone or use different apps.

“Heads Up” is currently available only on the latest Digital Wellbeing beta for Pixel users.
