Google appears to be working on a way to finally synchronize notifications across devices in its ecosystem, according to Android Authoritys Mishaal Rahman, who discovered code references to a new “sync across devices” option in the Android 15 beta.

The snippet is apparently located under the Notifications section of Settings, nestled between “sensitive notifications” and a new “notification cooldown” option he spotted last week. There’s no Android notification syncing feature at the moment, as Rahman notes. So if you dismiss a notification on your Android tablet, the same notification will still greet you over on your phone later. This would, I’m sure, be a welcome change for most.

The sync code also lies under an Android-specific controller, implying that the feature would be a little treat for all of the Android ecosystem rather than for Pixel devices alone, writes Rahman. But there’s apparently no accompanying description that would confirm that, so there’s still a possibility that this could be a Pixel exclusive.
