A new Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro feature could automatically adjust the display's sensitivity to help you interact with the screen according to code found within a recent Android beta.
This feature, named Adaptive Touch, was found in Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 by Android expert Mishaal Rahman (via Android Authority). Its description reads: "Touch sensitivity will automatically adjust to your environment, activities and screen protector."
Adaptive Touch is labeled within the Android 14 beta as a "P24" feature, which Rahman explains means it's reserved for the Pixel 9 series. So even if this feature is available in other Android betas, or even a standard release version of Android 14 or the upcoming Android 15, it seems it'll be exclusive to the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, at least initially.
Google is likely to launch the Pixel 9 series, as well as the first stable version of Android 15, this October. However, with Google normally introducing a given year's new Android version at Google I/O, we may hear the first official word on Adaptive Touch this May.
