apple: How Apple is trying to fix its notification system on multiple devices – Times of India
xApple is reportedly developing a new system that ensures to deliver notifications on the device that the user is currently active on. This way, the Cupertino-based tech giant can improve the way notifications are being delivered to the users who are in the Apple products ecosystem. As per a report by AppleInsider, the company has recently submitted a patent that will theoretically help various Apple devices to communicate with each other.
What is Apple’s ‘Auto Switch’ feature?
The company is planning to add a new feature called ‘Auto Switch’ that is designed to communicate between two wearable devices. This feature will allow users to add or pair two different Apple Watches to their iPhones. Moreover, this feature can also detect which Apple Watch is on the user’s wrist. Currently, the Apple Watch is able to detect when users take off their smartwatch and can automatically lock the screen.
This new patent will allow users who own a second Apple Watch to get notifications from the first one. With this upcoming system, all the notifications from the first Apple Watch will be redirected to the second watch if it is paired to the account and the user wears it.
Importance of Apple’s upcoming notification system
This new system will allow Apple devices to know which one among them is being actively used by the owner. For example, if a user is working on their MacBook, the notifications from other devices will be redirected to the laptop.
Initially, the patent was only specific to multiple wearables, however, Apple might use it in other devices once the technology is developed. This system has the potential to make the experience of being part of Apple’s ecosystem even smoother and more efficient.
Users who own multiple Apple devices receive notifications on all the products at the same time, as several apps from the company like — iMessage and Mail are available on most of the devices. This causes users to receive messages on their Apple Watch while they are working on their MacBook and even get mail alerts on their iPad and MacBook while browsing the web on their iPhones.
Earlier, there were reports about delays in the arrival of notifications on MacBooks before the latest version of macOS 12.4 was released. The new patent is expected to make Apple’s ecosystem more efficient and smooth in the future.
In other news, Apple has confirmed to host WWDC in the first week of June, which will offer more details about the upcoming updates coming for iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS and watchOS. Click here to know more.
