Google to Introduce AI-Powered Notification Features in Android 16
The changes are likely to be officially unveiled at Google I/O 2025.
Google is set to enhance the notification experience in Android 16 with the introduction of AI-powered features, including a new system called Magic Actions.
According to Android Authority, this feature is expected to replace the Smart Action and Smart Reply tools from earlier Android versions. The changes are likely to be officially unveiled at Google I/O 2025.
Magic Actions will offer interactive buttons within notifications, complete with custom animations.
These actions will be powered by Google's Gemini AI models and built on the Notification Assistant Service within Android System Intelligence. For instance, if a user receives a notification about a flight delay, the system may offer a direct action to contact the airline.
Additionally, Google is working on AI-generated notification summaries and Gmail-style bundled alerts, aimed at reducing clutter and improving user control.
Together, these updates mark a significant step toward a more intelligent and streamlined Android notification experience.
