Google announced that Android 14 will have separate controls for the volume of notifications and ringtones. Currently, both volume levels are managed by a single slider, but the new update will allow users to independently adjust the volume of notifications and ringtones.
The update can be quite useful for people who want to customize their sound preferences on their phones. Separating volume controls from notifications and ringtones would be a significant quality-of-life improvement for those who just want to feel the vibration on incoming calls but still hear audible notifications.
The change was announced after Google updated an entry in the Android issue tracker and confirmed that the feature may be available in a future build. Although it is not yet clear when the update will be released, it is likely to come with Android 14, which is planned to be released soon.
Sound Settings on Android
The current version of Android allows you to configure the media, call and alarm volumes separately. However, ringtone and notifications go together for now.
By pressing the volume up or down buttons, the operating system will change the volume of the currently used audio. To change the volume of other tools individually, it is necessary to go to the Settings of the mobile phone, access the sliders or search for a shortcut in the interface.
