Android 15 has it, why don't we? It sounds like a great feature. It's really annoying hearing my phone beep and beep again and again when I'm playing on my PC when I know for a fact it's nothing important(usually group chat chatting). Please Dev Team

If Android 15 has it and you have the update, then you must have it too.  Are you getting repeats of the same notification or just different notifications from everyone answering in a group chat?  You can change the notification sound for a particular chat to "silent", so  you don't have to hear it.  You can put on do not disturb. You can turn off sound and vibration for individual apps - you will still see your notifications, but you won't hear them. If you want to see that you have notifications, but not hear them, turn the notification volume to "off".  You will still get notifications, but you won't hear them. So, there really is no need for an extra feature, when these features already exist.

Some people I message with tend to write many small messages instead of one long one. I don't want to change people's habit just for me. 

Also some apps are pretty spammy with notifications, it'd be nice to throttle them a bit without silencing or turning off notifications on them.

@temubrine Notification cooldown is an Android 16 feature. It was in an Android 15 developer preview, but didn't make it into the stable build. You'll have to wait until One UI 8.

It may be an Android feature exclusive to Google phones.  I don't know.  If it is part of Android 16, and NOT on the Galaxy phones, then it may very well be reserved for Google.

another option/idea is a 1 min delay of txt notifications. just delay sound alert of txt notification by 1 min & only make sound alert once after that 1 min, even if multiple txt received during that 1 min time period. Either of these simple options would be very much appreciated. Thank you
