The thinking behind the feature probably goes something like this: "Android's ability to block individual notification channels from apps is really cool but very hard for a novice user to understand and access." Surfacing the feature in a pop-up makes it much easier to use, so Google just needs to figure out which notifications aren't useful so it can send a blocking suggestion. I think it would be better if this was more visually distinctive from a normal notification. The question notification looks so much like the original notification that, at first, I always think the original notification has remained. Keep showing them?" In action, this always feels a little strange. When you swipe away a notification, if it reaches the blocking threshold, a new notification will immediately pop up in its place, asking: "You usually dismiss these notifications. So, if you constantly dismiss the Google Maps "discovery" notifications, you'll be asked if you want to block just this type of notification rather than all Google Maps notifications.

This works off of the notification channel system introduced in Android 8.0 Oreo, which allows developers to break down their notifications into several types. For now, we wait.Īndroid Pie tries to help keep a lid on notification overload by suggesting that you block notifications that you rarely tap on. ML Kit launched in May of this year with APIs for text recognition, face detection, barcode scanning, image labeling, and landmark detection eventually, smart replies will be part of the collection. The AI for Smart Replies doesn't quite exist yet, but Google has said it will be part of ML Kit, a new toolkit designed to give developers easy-to-use machine learning APIs without having to learn something like TensorFlow. Now you just need a chatbot-style AI that can read the messages and generate truly worthwhile responses. The easy part is already in Android Pie-notifications can have smart reply buttons that send pre-generated text to an app. With Android Pie, Google is taking a second swing at supplying smart replies to all apps, but this time with enough OS and cloud support to make it a real feature. Reply only used its powers for good, but it was definitely a scary proposition. After granting Reply a shocking number of permissions-like being able to read and reply to all your notifications-it basically became a man-in-the-middle notification hijacking scheme. It was a neat idea, but as an app that glommed an unauthorized new feature onto a third-party app, it was a total hack job. Google's magical AI would scan your message and generate a few custom responses based on things like the message text and sometimes even your location and the traffic. No matter what I do (in Android Messages, at least), I always get a placeholder image.Įarlier this year, Google released an experimental app called Reply, which would inject machine-learning-generated replies into an app's notifications. The one oddity with threaded messaging is that, while your contact's picture will show up, there seems to be no way to set a contact icon for yourself. The messaging notification can also show pictures in-line, so instead of a "picture," you can see a tiny thumbnail right in the notification panel. The threaded notifications look just like a mini texting app, complete with contact pictures on either side of the message.
Message notifications are now threaded, so if you have a rapid-fire texting session, the last few replies will show up in the notification.
Messaging notifications-the kinds generated by texting with SMS, Hangouts, WhatsApp, and other apps-get a few special features in Android Pie.
