SaralnamaGoogle released Android 16 in June with new features. However, many Pixel users are facing a problem with notification sounds. When there's already a notification, the phone doesn't play sounds for new ones. This happens even at maximum volume and with Do Not Disturb overrides. Users of Pixel 6, 7, Pro, and 9 Pro XL reported this issue. Google acknowledged the problem and said it's fixed internally. The fix will be included in the next quarterly release. As of 28 Aug 2025, users say the issue persists. To check for missed notifications, users can review their notification history in the phone settings. (Updated 1 Sep 2025, 21:01 IST; source: link)
