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

16 September 2024
You will need to dismiss notifications on just one of your devices.

Sort by:

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

    There is nothing iOS can teach Android regarding notifications. Even this feature some will not consider to be a positive.

      geez... google is again hard at fixing non issue... if I have multiple devices then most of the time I do want to have distinct notifications on all of them - for example if I dismiss a notification on my mobile I still do want to see it on my computer to deal with it... IMs usually are smart enough Ti mark chats as read and update notifications across the devices so... non issue...

        Buddy android has always been light-years ahead of apple when it comes to notifications.

          Lol, But I want to receive notifications on all my devices, yes, even if they're the same.

I'... moreSame, one of the reasons I hate using my tablet is the notifications bog it down so bad...especially since it's a samsung galaxy tab S7+ which samsung no longer support with OS updates so it's slowly getting slower and slower and less useful...sadly as I really do like it as a tablet just sucks that it's OS is stuck about 3yrs back lol

              Haha 🤣🤣
              Android catching up with Apple on the useless notification that Chinese OEMs always copied as noted by some users. Possibly this is a paid article for Apple and this isn't Phone arena site.

They are still jumping in the morning from the shock of their alarm clock ringing ;)

                      Huh, Android notifications are already far superior than ios.
                      Like, you can reply from notifications without opening up the app, notifications are sorted according to apps and time unlike random mix of all notifications. You can disable or mute them too, you can dismiss all of them at once.

                        These rumours sprung from the sleep with every new iteration of Android and then again goes back to sleep for a year after applying makeup(cosmetic changes).

                          pretty sure this won't make it to the chinese skins 😢

                            I never knew I needed an update so much in my life. I'm so tired of opening up my tablet to 40 notifactions I've already dealt with on my phone

But I don't blame them! Chinese OEMs are the main culprit behind it. When Apple renames something from android and do a better implementation, immediately Chinese OEMs will copy it as if it doesn't existed before!

                                I own an S23U, Galaxy 6 Classic watch, an Android tablet, and I use Windows 11 on my PC, constantly syncing with Phone Link, and I have never experienced any of these issues. Everything syncs immaculately across all of them. Also, how poorly written is this, claiming Android is catching up with iPhone notifications when iPhones don't even have notifications. They all just appear in your notification center like a mess, and to find the important ones, you have to spend a lifetime searching. Android has the best notification manager available to any smartphone OS right now. Damn, in Samsung's, we even have notification history, where you can actually see again dismissed notifications from weeks ago. Plus, if someone deletes or edits their messages on a social messaging app, we can always see what it was because of how well the notifications handler and manager are on Android. GSMArena has come a long way, only to become a specs-only website. I haven't seen any proper or articulate articles here for the last decade.

                                  It's IOS actually that needs to catch up to even be comparable to Android when it comes to notifications
