Android 15’s Notification Cooldown is my new favorite feature

I’m in too many group chats. It’s not a brag or a flex, it’s just kind of a thing that happens. I usually get added to an existing group any time I show up to a new run club, or one of my friends will start a group chat when we’re trying to plan a bigger event. Although it’s a super simple way to keep everyone in the loop on things, eventually, the notifications start to pile up. In the past, that caused me to reach for the mute button early and often, but as of Android 15, I have a new favorite tool — the Notification Cooldown. Here’s what makes this not-quite-a-mute-button so, so good.

Easier than a mute switch but better than silent mode
