Google is rumored to be developing a feature for Android 15 that will allow notifications to sync across devices, addressing a longstanding user demand. Currently, dismissing a notification on one device does not affect its presence on another, which can lead to confusion. The findings, reported by Mishaal Rahman, indicate that this feature is positioned under the Notifications settings, suggesting it may improve user experience significantly if fully implemented.
The code references to a 'sync across devices' feature were found nestled within the Notifications section of Android 15 beta settings. This positions the feature between 'sensitive notifications' and a newly added 'notification cooldown' option. If realized, this functionality would potentially synchronize notifications across devices in the Android ecosystem, eliminating the hassle of receiving identical notifications on multiple devices.
Mishaal Rahman highlights that the syncing code is located under an Android-specific controller, hinting at broad availability for the Android ecosystem. However, without any supporting description, it's uncertain whether this feature will be exclusive to Pixel devices. As it stands, the absence of notification synchronization creates a fragmented experience for users who frequently switch between different Android devices.
