Notification cooldown could make a return in Android 15 QPR1 to stop notification spam

• Google is preparing to bring back a feature called notification cooldown that gradually lowers the volume of successive notifications from the same app.
• Google briefly introduced the feature in the first developer preview of Android 15 but later removed it from the first beta.
• Evidence suggests the feature hasn’t been scrapped, though, as Google has continued working on it since it was pulled from the beta.

If you’re part of a very active group chat, then you’ve probably heard your phone’s notification tone a million times by now. While these constant alerts are likely welcome, sometimes you’ll get notification spam from an unexpected source. If that happens, the only thing you can do is react after the fact and disable notifications for that source or turn down the notification volume. Thankfully, the first quarterly platform release for Android 15 might have a solution to that problem.

Back in February, when Google released the first developer preview of Android 15, there was a new feature called “notification cooldown” tucked away under Settings > Notifications. This feature, when enabled, would gradually lower the volume of successive notifications coming from the same app. Basically, the feature prevents your phone from going off wildly when you receive a ton of notifications in a very short period of time.
