Google is giving Android’s headphone and earbud notifications a fresh new look

What you need to know

In an exciting development for audio enthusiasts, Google is enhancing the user experience on Android devices with a fresh visual update for headphone and earbud battery status. This new feature aims to provide users with a more intuitive way to monitor their audio gear’s power levels.

  • The updated notification introduces color-coded rings surrounding the icons for each earbud and their charging case, allowing for a quick, at-a-glance assessment of battery status.
  • Users will now see dynamic icons that indicate whether their earbuds are charging and if the case is actively discharging power.

This redesign marks a significant shift from the previous method, where connected devices merely displayed a battery icon accompanied by a percentage beneath each accessory. The new layout, first highlighted by 9to5Google, boasts a cleaner and more visually appealing format, enhancing readability and clarity for users.

With the rollout of Android 15 QPR2 on Pixel devices, users can expect a more streamlined approach to managing their audio accessories, making it easier than ever to stay informed about battery life while enjoying their favorite tunes.
