The latest beta version of Android 15 is bringing a fresh twist to the familiar Do Not Disturb (DND) feature. Say hello to Priority Modes, a new way to tailor your notification experience.
The Android team has been hard at work, cooking up some nifty changes in the Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1. At the heart of these updates is a revamped Do Not Disturb system, now sporting custom Priority Modes.
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all DND settings. With Priority Modes, users can craft bespoke notification profiles to suit different scenarios.
Accessing these new features is a breeze. Users can dive into the Priority Modes through the Settings app, nestled under either Sound & vibration or Notifications. The DND settings interface has also received a facelift, making it more intuitive to navigate and customize.
A new Quick Settings tile is also making its debut, offering rapid access to your Priority Modes.
One of the standout features of Priority Modes is the ability to create custom DND schedules. This means you can automate your notification preferences based on your daily routine. Imagine your phone automatically switching to “Work Mode” during office hours, or “Sleep Mode” when it’s time to hit the hay.
The customization options are extensive, allowing users to fine-tune which notifications break through the silence.
While the full extent of these features is still under wraps, early adopters are buzzing with excitement. As Android 15 inches closer to its official release, users can look forward to a more personalized and less disruptive mobile experience.
