Helping you stay on top of your phone's notifications is something Android and iOS have struggled with for years, but it looks like Android 15 is coming with a couple of new features that could finally help you stay on top of these alerts for good.
According to Android Authority, the latest Android 15 beta, currently in testing, will no longer display notifications older than two weeks. This may be a problem for those switching Android phones or tablets.
Another improvement in the Android 15 beta, also spotted by Android Authority, suggests that notification syncing between different devices could also be improved, so new notifications wouldn't necessarily appear on all of your Android devices.
All in all, this should mean spending less time checking notifications you shouldn't have to deal with, either because they originally came to you weeks ago or because you've already seen them on another device.

It also appears that Google engineers are working on making notification alerts less intrusive on the screen, which should improve the experience when you're playing a game or watching a movie and pop-up notifications appear.
As is always the case with beta testing, there's no guarantee that any of these features will make it into the final version of Android 15, but there's a good chance they will, and they may be further refined before they reach the general public.
In fact, a fixed version of Android 15 has already been distributed to developers, but the different hardware manufacturers still need to customize it: Google for Pixel phones, Samsung for Galaxy phones, OnePlus for its phones, etc.
Google Pixel phones, like the Google Pixel 9, will be the first to receive Android 15, and it seems very likely that they will be released in October. If you have another type of Android phone, you may have to wait a few more months to receive it.
