In addition to these newly-added devices, Energy Ring has also received a full Material You makeover, making it the second app we’ve seen in the last week or so to adopt Google’s latest design language. Although this update won’t change how the battery life indicator works, it should make for a fun experience whenever you need to tweak your current preferences.
Finally, Energy Ring also works with Access Dots, an app from the same developer that shows off privacy indicators for your phone’s microphone and camera. By using the two apps in tandem, you can get what the dev calls “Access Rings,” with the ring around your front-facing camera automatically lighting up whenever it’s in use.
These updates are rolling out now via the Play Store. In addition to Samsung’s latest smartphones, most recent Android flagships are supported, along with analternate universal mode for older devices.
