- Changes have been viewed in the Google Sounds app
- Pixel owners will soon be able to take more control over Haptics
- The update could arrive along with the Android 16 update
IPhones are currently beating Android devices in the way they let you set specific ringtones and vibrations to specific contacts on your phone -though it seems that Google is planning to catch up with some of this functionality on the best pixels.
As stained by Tipster Nail Sadykov (via Android Authority), an upcoming version of the Google Sounds app allows you to choose vibrations in the same way you can choose ringtones through Sound and vibration Menu in Settings.
It is not the full contact -specific customization available on iOS, but it is another step closer. There are 12 vibration patterns to choose from for your apps and alarms, including swoop, snare, heartbeat, swirl, buzz and bumps.
Being able to take more control over vibration warnings is definitely a welcome upgrade: This means you can increase or reduce the strength of the hummers made by your phone based on your personal preference.
Built -in updates
Note that the Google Sounds app is actually built into the Pixel Software: It’s not something you can download and install separately. You must be able to find it from settings by tapping Apps> View All Apps.
When choosing sounds, see the version number at the bottom of the screen. The current version at the time of writing is 3.1, while the updates for vibration settlement have been viewed in version 3.2.
Exactly when Google plans to push the upgrade out to phones, seeing to see: With Android 16 Now in the Betabase it is possible that we will not get these options until Android 16 is officially launched in the next few months.
Your options vary if you use a non-pixel device, depending on the features your phone’s manufacturer has decided to add. For example, in case of Samsung Galaxy phones, you can make use of Samsung’s own Sound Assistant app.
