This App Brings Ios 18 S Ai Notification Summary Feature To Android Phones
AI Notification Summary on Android: How It Works
The app in question is Sum Up from the developer Gustavo who also developed a few of my favorite apps I use – Noti Progress Bar and CalenTile Quick Setting Tile. It costs around a buck, but is absolutely worth it for what it does.
Sum up uses Gemini models via the user’s Gemini API key to summarize notifications for you. You can grant it Notification access apart from setting a Messages threshold at which the app should summarize the contents of messages.
You can also toggle on/off notifications summary for individual apps. If you’re worried about the API key, the developer promises it will be stored on your device.
Get iOS 18 AI Notification Summary on Android
Before installing the app, you will need to get your Gemini API key first. Then start the app, grant a few permissions, and you will be all setup. Here’s how to get an iOS 18-like Notification summary on Android.
We recommend sticking to Gemini 1.5 Flash as it has a higher free-tier limit of 15 requests per minute and 1,500 requests per day, which honestly should easily suffice for a day’s worth of notifications, unless Google decreases the request limit in the future.
My Experience Using the Sum Up App
While I didn’t have a ton of WhatsApp messages, there were lots of messages in the GrapheneOS community on Element that I was procrastinating to check on. Sum Up, summed it for me nice and tidy, and I could understand what’s going on in the chats and conversations.
In the end, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it works and how no one had thought about it before Apple, because it’s quite straightforward to implement. I don’t mean to undermine the efforts of the developer, but it’s quite honestly a genius feature for sure.
And that’s how you can get iOS 18-like AI Notification Summary feature on any Android device. What are your thoughts on this feature? Do you think Google should bring it to Android? Let us know in the comments below.
