We also got a new option called Notification organizer for automatically grouping and silencing low-priority notifications.<\/p>\n<p>These features are currently only available on <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/tag\/google-pixel-9\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/tag\/google-pixel-9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Pixel 9<\/a> and 10 series phones, and in limited regions, for now anyway. Once you&#8217;ve updated your Pixel phone, Notification organizer should be enabled by default. Here&#8217;s how to access it and customize it if needed.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f5308866-6789-4fae-9de3-389e1993e97b\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/>How to use Android AI notification organizer on a Pixel<a id=\"elk-seasonal\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"c64ec9c0-dcc1-4fbd-a019-066cb9a30b5f-0\">1.

The new Notfication organizer feature is a smarter way of doing the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>The update began rolling out on December 2, 2025, in a phased manner, so if you haven&#8217;t recieved this yet, be patient. Hopefully, we will see this feature roll out to more phones as well in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a Pixel 9 or 10 series device, keep checking for the update if you didn&#8217;t already get it.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-collectionwidget-b2ddad2c76f3af8afd640e1a729e219c\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/i678XLoPsGDePMGUkpjcG.jpg\" alt=\"Google Pixel 10 Pro in Jade\"   loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/i678XLoPsGDePMGUkpjcG.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/i678XLoPsGDePMGUkpjcG.jpg\" class=\"featured_image\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Keeps getting better<\/p>\n<p>The Google Pixel 10 Pro is the best attempt by Google yet, and these quarterly updates keep improving its functionality.
