Tired of your phone constantly buzzing with notifications? Android 15 might be the answer. A new feature called “notification cooldown” aims to reduce the noise and keep your phone from going off like crazy.
How Does It Work?
Imagine you’re in a super active group chat. Without a notification cooldown, your phone might be constantly buzzing. This feature steps in, gradually reducing the volume of repeated notifications over time. This way, you won’t be overwhelmed by constant alerts while still staying informed about important messages.
A Brief History
Notification cooldown was initially introduced in Android 15’s early developer previews. However, it was temporarily removed in the public beta. Now, it seems to be making a comeback with some enhancements.
What’s New?
- Simplified Settings: The feature now has a simpler on/off toggle.
- Educational Animation: A helpful animation explains how notification cooldown works.
- Work Profile Support: You can choose whether to apply cooldown to work profile apps.
When Can We Expect It?
While notification cooldown isn’t available in the latest Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 update, it’s likely to be included in a future release. So, if you’re tired of notification overload, keep an eye out for this handy feature.
