Following the initial leaked report that One UI 8.5 firmware would have a new "Priority notifications" feature, another leak has surfaced today that shows this feature actually working. It uses on-device processing to stack important alerts at the top.
Exploring One UI 8.5's Enhanced Notifications
One UI 8.5 has been spotted in a new report, and this time, the "Priority notifications" feature is fully operational. Previous leaks hinted at this functionality, but now we have a detailed look at how it functions.
Understanding the Functionality of Priority Notifications
The feature identifies "notifications that may be important" and elevates them "above other notifications to ensure they are not missed." Screenshots illustrate these priority alerts with a subtle glow and a "Galaxy AI–style gradient," neatly positioned at the top of the notification panel.
