New Update Brings Smarter Notification Management
The latest update for Samsung’s Device Care app, now at version 13.8.80.7, bring a useful feature aimed at reducing irritation from unwanted push notifications. It is designed to analyze incoming notifications and identify which are purely advertising. Once detected, the app can automatically put these advertising notifications into “deep sleep” mode so they won’t bother you anymore. This helps make your experience more smooth and less cluttered. Samsung states that sometimes the classification between marketing and useful alerts isn’t perfect, but you can always unblock important notifications easily in the app settings.
How Intelligent Blocking Works
With this smart feature, called “Intelligent Blocking,” the app scans the notifications to determine if they are spam or promotional in nature. Notifications that are deemed to be more advertising than content are suppressed if they appear too frequently. This means you’ll no longer be annoyed by persistent ads. And if you still want to see certain notifications, simply unblocking them in the settings will do the trick. It is a simple but effective way to keep your notifications relevant and less intrusive, especially for power users who get bombarded constantly.
Availability and Compatibility
Right now, this update is seen first on smartphones that use the newest version of One UI 8.5, like the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra smart phones. If you are eager to try it sooner, versions of the app can be found outside official app stores, such as on APKMirror, where an updated version 13.8.80.7 has already been uploaded. However, official updates may take a few weeks to roll out globally to all compatible devices through proper channels like Samsung Galaxy Store or Google Play Store. Stay tuned for your device’s update to include this new helpful feature.
