The feature, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/android\/android-16-december\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which is bundled in the latest version of Android 16<\/a>, is only available to Pixel devices for now, but its inclusion in the update suggests that it will arrive on third-party phones next.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Additionally, Google is launching a new notification organizer that will automatically group and silence \u201clower-priority\u201d notifications related to promotions, news, and alerts from social platforms.
