Google has recently introduced a new feature called Notification Organiser to Pixel phones, aimed at making notifications smarter and more organized. This feature is currently being rolled out to Pixel 9 and later models with the Android 16 QPR2 update. It is important to note that the feature is only available in English and in select countries including Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, the UK, and the US.
Notification Organiser automatically categorizes incoming notifications into sub-categories such as Promotions, News, Social, and Suggested. Users have the option to silence notifications from specific categories, allowing them to manage their alerts more effectively. Additionally, users can choose to always expand notifications from certain categories, providing quick access to important information.
The use of AI in the Notification Organiser feature raises some skepticism regarding its effectiveness. AI-powered notification management has not always been successful in the past, as seen with iPhone users. However, Google’s commitment to improving notification management is evident with the introduction of this feature.
This update follows the recent release of AI summaries on Android 16 QPR2, demonstrating Google’s dedication to enhancing the user experience on Pixel devices. With Notification Organiser, users can expect a more streamlined and efficient notification system that caters to their individual preferences and needs. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new feature from Google.
