Windows cautions Phone Link won’t show ‘empathetic’ Android 15 notifications

Microgentle’s Phone Link app is cautioning that Android inalertigentphones using the tardyst version of Android 15 won’t discarry out confident “empathetic” notifications, according to a post from Mishaal Rahman spotted by Windows Central.

The cautioning is the result of an Android 15 privacy feature that automaticassociate categorizes notifications enjoy those includeing 2FA codes as “empathetic” and impedes third-party apps from seeing them. That extra bit of privacy could come in handy if you’ve unwittingly given a harmful app perignoreion to access your notifications. But it could be inaccessible if you widespreadly count on on seeing 2FA codes materialize on your computer via Phone Link.

According to Rahman, Windows should still show empathetic notifications for Android devices where Phone Link came preinshighed and has seeked a “Companion Device Role.” That includes Samsung phones running One UI 6.1.1, but not other Android phones enjoy Google Pixel or Noleang Phones, authors Windows Central.

Rahman wrote in October that participaters could get around the notification-hiding feature by turning off “Enhanced Notifications” in Android 15’s notifications settings. However, doing so also turns off leangs enjoy reply proposeions and could originate it easier aget for harmful apps to accumulate details from all of your notifications.
