Notification

Our software update is being released in phases. New features will gradually roll out across all regions. Learn more about Pixel software updates.

Use AI to manage your notifications

You can use AI to get a summary of notifications and a brief overview of long conversations.

  • This feature works across popular messaging app notifications like Google Messages, Android Messages, WhatsApp, and others.
  • When you turn AI Summaries on, a summary of unread messages will show in your notifications. To view the full message thread, you can either expand or tap the notification.
  • AI Summaries are indicated by text with a sparkle icon .

AI Summaries may not generate if:

  • You have shorter notifications, like brief text messages.
  • The language can’t be detected because there are mixed languages or only emoji.
  • You’re actively using your phone. The screen must be off for a moment.

You can use the Notification Organizer to sort notifications into categories like:

  • Promotions and News
  • Social and Suggested content
