The first Android 15 developer preview introduced a feature called "notification cooldown." This feature has a very simple name but worked in a rather clever way; it would simply put notifications on a cooldown as they started to get more and more annoying. Now, the feature has surfaced again, and it is going to be available in the final version, as well.
Are you tired of annoying notifications? Android 15's Notification Cooldown is exactly what you need
The feature is available in the Android 15 Beta 1.2, and although it is not enabled by default, it is there, which means that Google is still testing out. The feature's description reads, "Gradually lower the notification volume when you get many successive notifications from the same app." Now, one might think that they don't need this feature, but as someone who never puts their phone on silent and who has friends who often get bored, this feature is a blessing because now I no longer have to deal with my phone ringing at the same volume all the time.
Android 15 will also allow you to utilize another feature called "Vibrate when unlocked," which will only cause your phone to vibrate when the screen is unlocked. If you are wondering, you can even turn this feature off by default.
Now, it is worth noting that the notification cooldown feature is still hidden in Android 15, but considering that this is not the first time it has shown itself, it is more than safe to assume that the company is working on it and that it might make its way into a future beta with full functionality. Either way, I am glad that this feature exists because it will make it a lot easier to deal with a continuous barrage of notifications from your work or from your friends.
A friend of mine has just moved to the U.S., and today, when I woke up, she sent me fifteen messages in a span of just a few minutes while I was out of WhatsApp; I am glad Android 15 is bringing such a feature because it would make all these successive notifications a lot easier to deal with. I hope this feature becomes a default in Android 15, allowing other OEMs to introduce it as well. It will save many of us from so much hassle.
