Android 15 lets you sync notification dismissals between Pixel devices — He

[phillynews215]

• The stable Android 15 update adds a new feature that dismisses notifications across Pixel devices.
• Specifically, this feature syncs notification dismissals, so when you dismiss a notification on your Pixel phone, it won’t appear on your Pixel tablet, and vice versa.
• There were hopes that Google would make this feature available for all Android devices, but it seems to be Pixel-exclusive for now.

If you have an Android tablet that you use on occasion, then you’re probably familiar with the issue of duplicate notifications. Notifications that you’ve already seen and dismissed on your Android phone will still appear on your Android tablet until you dismiss them there, too. This is admittedly a minor annoyance, but it makes Android feel like a disjointed ecosystem. Fortunately, Google has a solution to duplicate notifications in the Android 15 update it’s releasing today, but you’ll need to have Pixel devices to take advantage of it.

In the stable Android 15 update that Google released today for Pixel devices, the company is introducing a new “dismiss notifications across Pixel devices” option under Settings > Notifications. This feature is available on the Pixel 6 and later, including the Pixel Tablet, and its description says that “notifications dismissed on your Pixel phone or tablet will no longer appear on both.” Tapping the option opens up a page where you can enable the feature for one of your Google accounts (but not all of them).
