Android 15 will finally catch up with iOS when it comes to notifications

Ro, 16 September 2024

Have you ever been annoyed by receiving a ton of expired notifications on your Android tablet? You are not alone. However, with Android 15, Google is finally introducing a solution to the problem by syncing your notifications across devices.

Android 15 might bring notification syncing across devices

Buried deep in Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1, Mishaal Rahman of Android Authority found evidence that Google is working on the said feature. It will allow you to sync notifications, so once you dismiss them on one device, they will disappear from the notification shade on your other Android devices assigned to your Google account.

Unfortunately, nothing is certain. We don't know whether the feature will arrive with Android 15, in a later version or if at all. The good news is that if it arrives, it won't be a Pixel-exclusive feature and will be available to all Android-running devices.

I believe iOS was rather inspired by android in the past. Android notification was already ahead of iOS since the early smartphone era
