Google is reportedly developing a 'Bundled Notifications' feature for Android 16, allowing users to categorize and group similar notifications, similar to Gmail's notification grouping.
Are you tired of the constant stream of notifications on your Android phone? Google may have a solution in development as part of its Android 16 update. Recently, Android Authority discovered a hidden page in the latest Android 15 beta, located under Settings >Notifications, that references Bundled Notifications. This suggests a stable version of Android 15 QPR2 or the upcoming Android 16 release could introduce a new feature similar to Gmail’s notification grouping.
This would allow similar notifications to be organized into valuable bundles rather than displaying a long, overwhelming list of individual alerts. Imagine having your notifications sorted into categories like “Social,” “Promotions,” “News,” and more. You would no longer need to scroll through a chaotic mix of messages, alerts, and updates. While this feature is still in development and has not been officially confirmed, it has the potential to revolutionize how we manage notifications on Android devices such as the new OnePlus 13. Related Currently, Android only groups notifications from the same app and does not categorize them. The bundled notification feature isn’t currently operational in the Android 15 beta. However, the page describes it as follows: “Notifications with similar themes will be silenced and grouped together for a quieter experience. Bundling will override an app’s own notification settings.” Android Authority suggests that the Android System Intelligence app will likely power the bundled notifications feature. This app already processes notifications to hide sensitive content from the lock screen and untrusted notification listeners. The constant barrage of disorganized notifications can be frustrating on Android. It’s encouraging that Google is looking to enhance this by enabling users to categorize their notifications. Let’s hope this feature arrives sooner rather than later
