It took Google years to add this Android 15 feature, and it’s still half-baked

If there’s one feature I’ve had on the top of my Android wishlist for nearly a decade now, it’s notification sync across devices. I realize my use case is extreme since I have several Android phones on my desk right now and many more in my gadget drawer, but there was a time when I just had one phone and one tablet and I still got tired of seeing duplicate notifications across both of them.

But notification dismissal across phones is here now, finally, as part of Android 15! Well, uh, scratch that. It’s here if you have a Pixel 6 or newer, because it’s only rolling out as a Pixel-exclusive option. That’s one of the first limitations of the option for me. The other is more… complicated.
