For example, Google Pixel devices include an interface which allow users to specify multiple aspects of policies 

based on user input in various settings (e.g., enabling/disabling Data Saver, Power Saver, Adaptive Battery, 

Doze features, as well as enabling/disabling policies for specific applications) for controlling service usage
