According to 9to5Google, Google is developing separate notification and ringtone volume sliders for Android, which is a long-requested feature. With this new feature, users will be able to change the volume of their ringtones and notifications separately. As a result, they can now lower the volume of their notifications while maintaining a greater volume for their ringtone.
In December, an ADB command was found in Android 13 QPR2 Beta 1 that alluded to separate notification and ringtone volume sliders. The feature was available in the Settings > Sound & Vibration menu. However, the stable QPR2 that landed in Match didn’t bear the feature.
In response to a user’s request for separated volume bars for notifications and ringtones, Google said, “The requested feature will be available in a future build.” The company also changed the request status to “Fixed.”
Separate notification and ringtone volume sliders are coming to the Android
It remains to be seen whether the feature will arrive in Android 13 QPR3. The update is scheduled for June, and we should wait to see if feature lands in QPR3 or if the company is preparing it for Android 14. Some users have also reported that a separate ringtone volume slider has appeared in Android 14 Beta 1.
Users will like this new feature’s convenience and usefulness. For example, you may now turn down the volume of your notifications in a conference or quiet area without worrying about missing crucial calls. On the other hand, you can turn up your ringtone’s level if you’re in a noisy setting to avoid having to deal with obnoxiously loud notifications.
With the new separate volume sliders, users can also customize their phone’s sound settings to their liking without compromising on one or the other. Previously, Android users had to adjust the volume of their notifications and ringtones together, which frequently resulted in missed calls or loud and annoying notifications.
A separate slider for notifications and ringtones is a small but significant improvement that makes Android more user-friendly and customizable.
