Notification Channels

Notification channels are a way for smartphones and apps to organize and prioritize alerts. They let users categorize different types of notifications—such as messages, emails, or app alerts—so that they can customize how they’re received. For example, you might set your messaging notifications to make sounds, while app updates are silent. This system helps manage notifications more effectively, reducing clutter and ensuring important alerts are noticed while less critical ones don’t disturb you unnecessarily. Essentially, notification channels give users control over how and when they receive various notifications from their apps.
