Earlier this year, we informed you that Google was working on AI-powered notification summaries. We even discovered an animation in Android Canary that demonstrates how the summarization will be stylized. If that sounds familiar, it’s because Apple has something similar for the iPhone. Unlike Apple’s version, however, Google’s take on the feature only summarizes conversations to improve accuracy and avoid misinterpreting non-message alerts.
In today’s Pixel Drop, notification summaries are now rolling out to the Pixel 9 and above, excluding the Pixel 9a. These notification summaries won’t recap all of your messages. They only focus on lengthier conversations. The summaries will appear in your notification shade and will work across chat apps.
