"Look, Android's absolutely overflowing with options to take control of your notifications and make 'em work better for you. But no matter how many tools we've got at our disposal, it sometimes seems like annoying alerts still manage to make their way through and disrupt our days. (Don'tcha just love overly aggressive app noise?!) Today, I want to introduce you to a smart new Android add-on I just recently encountered that can give you even more nuanced and easily achieved control."
"Notification channels are a feature that first came into Android way back in 2017's Android 8 (Oreo) era, many Android versions ago. Certain device-makers (cough, cough, Samsung) for some reason still insist on disabling it by default and making you go out of your way to find and activate it - but it's there and available, even so. And once you figure out how to put those notification channels to use, you can opt in or out of specific types of notifications from an app -"
A simple, single-purpose Android add-on provides nuanced and easily achieved control over notifications and complements existing Android tools. Android offers notification channels (introduced in Android 8/Oreo) that let users opt into or out of specific notification types or change how alerts demand attention. Some device makers disable notification channels by default, requiring users to locate and enable them. The add-on excels at filling gaps left by system settings and aggressively noisy apps. A free Android Intelligence newsletter offers three new things to try weekly and an Android Notification Power-Pack as a welcome bonus.
