Google might let you sync your notifications between your Android devices

You might not have to read the same notifications on all your Android devices anymore.

Google might let you sync your notifications between your Android devices
  • Google may be working on a feature that syncs notifications across Android devices.
  • The feature may check whether you’ve dismissed a notification on your Android phone and then do the same on your Android tablet, or vice versa.
  • Evidence for the notification sync feature was spotted in the latest Android 15 QPR1 beta update, but the feature is not live yet and it’s not clear if it’ll be exclusive to Pixels.

One of the minor annoyances of using multiple Android devices is having to deal with duplicate notifications. Many Android apps can easily deliver notifications to every device you’ve installed them on, but the problem is that the statuses of these notifications aren’t synced between devices. For example, if you swipe to dismiss a notification on your Android phone, that same notification will still stick around on your Android tablet. Fortunately, Google may be working on a solution to this problem as evidenced by code in the latest Android 15 beta.

While digging through the latest Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 update released last week, I discovered a mysterious reference to a “sync across devices” feature in the Settings app. This new “sync across devices” option is poised to appear under Settings > Notifications between “sensitive notifications” and the new “notification cooldown” option.
