<\/span><\/div>\nGoogle is working on a new feature for Chrome on Android that will help people avoid downloading files when it doesn’t suit them, such as a mobile network with data restrictions or hefty fees. <\/p>\n
Users on Reddit discovered the new feature<\/a> in the Canary build of Chrome version 86, which is due for a stable release in early October. <\/p>\n The download later feature allows Android users to choose whether they want to download a file now, when the device is on a Wi-Fi network, or at a date and time of their choosing. <\/p>\n As per Tech Dows<\/a>, Google only started work on the download later feature for Android in the past few weeks<\/a> and the publication has only managed to get the feature to work once. <\/p>\n The download later feature isn’t a major development but it could nonetheless be helpful for people who see a file they want to download but are reluctant to do it on their current network. <\/p>\n There’s also a “don’t show again” checkbox for users who want to configure the device to only download files when on a Wi-Fi network or alternatively set the device so that it downloads files regardless of what network they’re on. <\/p>\n The new feature builds on Google’s other data-saving features for Chrome on Android, such as last year’s Lite Pages<\/a> that aimed to reduce the time it takes for HTTPS pages to load. <\/p>\n That feature was part of Chrome’s ‘Data Saver’ feature, which until then only supported accelerated HTTP page loads. The feature targeted users on 2G-like networks. <\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Liam Tung<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"See Campaign: <\/strong>https:\/\/bugs.chromium.org\/p\/chromium\/issues\/detail?id=1106208<\/a>
