Google testing native Dashcam feature for Android smartphones

We have seen tutorials on YouTube on how people can turn their old phones into security cameras for homes. They all are DIY (Do It Yourself) kind of guides and no companies would voluntarily announce any value-added features for old devices, as they prefer the owner to trade in the offer for a new model.

However, Google is reportedly working on a feature that can turn select Android and Pixel phones into handy dashcams for cars.

Eagle-eyed folks at 9to5Google have detected the ‘Dashcam’ feature in an APK (Android Package Kit) of the Personal Safety app supported on several Pixel phones and even Android including Nothing Phone(1).
