Chrome for Android now automatically revokes notification permissions for seldom-visited websites, aiming to decrease notification overload.
Notification Changes in Chrome
Google has updated Chrome to manage website notifications more effectively. If you don't visit a site often but receive many alerts from them, the notification permissions may be revoked automatically.
- Impact: Seldom visited sites with high notifications lose permissions.
- Exception: Installed web apps retain permissions automatically.
- Feedback: Chrome alerts users when it removes permissions.
- Manual Control: Users can disable this feature in Chrome Settings > Safety Check > View Sites.
User Engagement and Options
Google reports this update helps cut the noise from unwanted alerts. Users can re-enable notifications by visiting a site again or manually adjusting settings.
Furthermore, users can manage overall device notifications via Settings > Notifications, allowing them to personalize alert behaviors.
Tighter Security Standards
In addition to notification management, Chrome is also implementing stricter camera and microphone access rules for websites, enhancing user security.
