What Is Notification Snoozing in Android 12?

Notification snoozing is a way to silence notifications quickly and easily for a particular application. You can typically snooze alerts for up to two hours, allowing you to quiet them for a short amount of time. It’s helpful in silencing alerts for reminders happening later in the evening or if you’re heading into a meeting and need to quiet that group chat with all your friends.

Unlike Do Not Disturb, notification snoozing in Android 12 will not allow you to quiet alerts for all applications at once or for days at a time. Instead, you will need to do it on an app-by-app basis.
