UTA will be enabled by default on smartphones running Android 14, but users can also turn this feature off by going to Settings -> Safety and Emergency (or Safety and Personal depending on the device model) -> Turn off Unknown Trackers Warning.

It is not yet clear whether Google will officially bring the battery health monitoring feature to Android 14 or have to wait until the new Android 15 version to be used. But the future can confirm that Google will still release its own battery health monitoring feature, which is found in Settings on Android.
