WhatsApp for Android finally allows you to classify notifications<\/strong> according to their priority. Notification prioritization is a function that has been on the way since August 2017, when Android 8.0 first appeared<\/strong>. This new feature is thanks to the newest version of Android giving users the ability to add notification channels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sound confusing? The function allows you to assign different types of notifications<\/strong>. For example, you can make a notification of a message from your mother urgent<\/strong>. This means every time your mother writes to you, your mobile will emit a sound\u00a0 vibrate. Meanwhile, a medium<\/strong> priority notification will not emit any sound any at all.<\/p>\n

This way, it will be easy for you to know which WhatsApp notifications are important and which ones are not<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are 10 different channels<\/strong>, you can use to customize your notifications; group notifications, message notifications, chat history backup, critical app alerts, failure notifications, media playback, uncategorized, other notifications, sending media, and silent notifications.<\/p>\n
