• Android 15's new notification cooldown characteristic will also stop repetitive vibrations.
  • up to now, we verified notification cooldown regularly lowers the volume for those who get a lot of successive notifications from the same app.
  • Now we realize it'll also be capable of cease these notifications from vibrating your telephone — except it's unlocked.

    • When Google launched the first developer preview for its upcoming Android 15 update previous this 12 months, it blanketed a effortless new characteristic called "notification cooldown." The feature, as its name implies, puts notifications on cooldown once they get stressful. due to notification cooldown, Android 15, by using default, will steadily decrease the notification extent when you get many successive notifications from the same app. One problem with the notification cooldown function, notwithstanding, is that it does nothing to cease these same notifications from continuously vibrating your mobilephone. That's set to exchange within the close future, though.

    while digging in the course of the latest Android 15 Beta 1.2 update, I managed to convey again the settings web page for notification cooldown (Settings > Notifications > Notification cooldown) that Google hid from users in Android 15 Beta 1. within the manner, I also found out a new toggle that wasn't latest before: "vibrate when unlocked." according to the description, this toggle makes it so your phone will "only vibrate when [the] display is unlocked." In different words, enabling this toggle may still stay away from your telephone from vibrating for your pocket in the event you receive a ton of successive notifications from the identical app.

    not like the main notification cooldown feature, even though, "vibrate when unlocked" is disabled via default. fortunately, it's fairly convenient to permit, so in case you're concerned about notifications triggering your cellphone's haptics to move crazy, you could turn this characteristic on for peace of mind. if you're concerned about lacking important notifications, nonetheless, that you may go away this toggle disabled and additionally switch off notification cooldown absolutely. however, which you could trade the default "follow cooldown to all notifications" to "follow cooldown to conversations" in case you don't wish to miss out on different essential notifications.

    despite the fact Google deliberately hid the notification cooldown page from users in Android 15 Beta 1, I suppose it'll come returned in a future beta update, in all probability in subsequent month's Android 15 Beta 2 unencumber. while it's possible that Google has decided to scrap this function totally, we don't feel that's very seemingly, given that it had already long past are living within the public developer preview. confidently when the function returns, it'll be brought back with this new "vibrate when unlocked" toggle in tow. As a bonus, on the grounds that the code for the "notification cooldown" feature is already in AOSP, we will expect it to show up on non-Pixel instruments, too, once they obtain their personal updates to Android 15.
