Android 15 update blocks old notification noise — finally, some peace!
Starting in Android 15 QPR1, Android now blocks notifications from alerting you if they’re more than 2 weeks old.
Who the fuck either has sound turned on that often, or has notifications that old?
I didn't even know notifications could make noise past their initial display.
I think the only time I've experienced this is when I had my phone off for weeks and still used Gmail. It spammed me on boot with tons of old email notifications.
Messenger is the worst for this especially since I only have my work phone on half the time so I tend to get a lot of old notifications for messages I've already read when I turn it on.
The example given in the article is for a device you don't turn on that often
When I'm traveling and my tablet reconnects to wifi, I get a surge of vibrations. So the combo of notification sync and this feature sounds like it will finally solve that problem!
Ive started using iphones at the very beginning with nokia s60 phones. By the year 2012 I was overwhelmed by notifications and i started to adopt the policy "you need me urgently? Call me" I have Disabled all notifications except for calls. I have no push notifications active and a great phone battery life.
I still use telegram for messaging but on my own pace (messages gets downloaded only when i open the app)
Drastic measure
What I'd like is the ability to rate limit notifications. If I get a notification from a text, then the same person or same app notifies me within 15 seconds because of another incoming message, I want it to only notify me once.
I have to have sound/vibration on for work due to the type of industry I'm in, but sometimes if there are a bunch of active conversations going on, my phone is vibrating like a sex toy and I just get exhausted.
IIRC, Lineageos has a setting like that.
Not useful on a carrier-locked bootloader phone.
It was one of the best things about it for me
