Android 15 might let apps read battery health.
Mishaal Rahman’s got the details in a thread on X (formerly Twitter):
Android 14 introduced the API for reading the measured battery state of health, but it was restricted “not due to privacy but [due] to eng[ineering]” as there weren’t any “usecases [sic] where an application would require this permission.” However, it seems things have changed, as there are now use cases planned for it, so they’re making it publicly accessible.
I wonder what this would be used for?
