While this detects the user&#8217;s physical activity, a few developers seem to accept and use the API to extend the functionality of their apps. The API notifies the developer when :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The user is not interacting with his computer through a mouse or keyboard.<\/li>\n<li>The user has locked his screen.<\/li>\n<li>The user has switched to a new tab, making one tab <strong>inactive. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>The user activates a screensaver.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages_of_Idle_Detection\"><\/span>Advantages of Idle Detection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>But why would developers need such kind of information? Google <strong>stated and suggested the following<\/strong>&#xA0;<strong>pros <\/strong>through a few use cases for the idle detection API:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social networking apps can benefit the most, as they can detect if a user is idle and automatically detect the status and share the same with their contacts.<\/li>\n<li>Apps in public kiosks can use the API, and the home view can be restored to the device if no one is interacting with the apps.<\/li>\n<li>Apps requiring calculations can use the API to limit the calculations only when the user interacts with the device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages_of_Idle_Detection\"><\/span>Disadvantages of Idle Detection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On certain grounds, Idle Detection invades the user privacy on a physical level and has raised a lot of concerns the same.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Officials at Mozilla believe this API aids surveillance capitalism<\/strong>, as it invades physical privacy. It can help keep long-term records to store users&#8217; daily behavioral patterns and can be used for &#8220;psychological manipulation.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Privacy first giants <strong>Apple also expressed their worries<\/strong> about Idle detection as it can be used by websites to mine cryptocurrencies when the user is idle. By the way, here&#8217;s how you can <a href=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/blog\/9538\/block-crypto-mining-in-web-browser\/\">block crypto mining<\/a> in your browser.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Idle detection can also add to the fingerprinting problem<\/strong>, as it can now add extra information regarding the user&#8217;s physical activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ensuring privacy online is the need of the hour, and it is essential to try our best to disable any form of user tracking.
