Google is finally tackling Android’s Do Not Disturb problem

Android Police general

Key Points:

  • Google is working on enabling system-wide syncing of Do Not Disturb (DND) settings across multiple Android devices, addressing a current limitation where users must manually enable DND on each device.
  • Currently, Android only syncs DND with select Wear OS watches, whereas Apple's ecosystem automatically syncs DND or Focus modes across all devices linked to the same Apple ID.
  • Code related to cross-device DND syncing was discovered in the latest Google Play Services update, suggesting the feature may soon be available and integrated into the Handoff settings alongside other cross-device functions.
  • The anticipated feature aims to work across various Android devices, including phones, tablets, and watches, regardless of brand, to enhance convenience for users with multiple devices.
